Glide broken and wouldn't hold ice bucket motor in place.
Removed the 3 screws using a socket set. Removed 1 screw with the broken plastic piece off of the ice bucket motor by holding the broken plastic with pliers and removed screw. Be aware that the glide rail screws are standard socket size while the ice bucket motor screw was slightly larger (don't remember the exact measurements). Attached new Bucket Glide. Fixed.

Stripped out helix lock, broken bucket glide rails
PITA to take apart, finally had to use two screwdrivers to pry up on the mechanism that turns the auger in order to gain access. Once I figured that out, the rest of the repair was a breeze.
When I arrived from work, the job was already done and it was installed by my 18 year old son in 15 minutes without my supervision.

Left side bucket guide cracked away from the auger attachment. Could not dispense ice cubes.
Amazingly simple. I followed the directions I found on your site 4 socket screws removed. They were easily accessible. Replaced the broken bucket guide with the new part. Put the screws back in in less than 15 minutes the icemaker auger feature that dispenses the ice was back in working order.

Left glide that ice bucket slides on broke in the rear where the ice motor connects on
I had previously removed the motor by unplugging 2 plugs and had the motor sitting on my kitchen counter awaiting for the part from the site. On receipt of the part, we removed the broken left glide, installed the new glide, re plugged the motor and attached it to the new glide. If it weren't for my hubby trying to find the right socket tool for the screws, installation would have been less than 15 minutes. The screw that attaches the glide to the ice motor is a different size than the ones that screw into the side of the fridge.

Broken Bucket Glide
Requires a 1/4 inch socket to remove three screws holding the glide in place and a 5/16 inch socket which attaches the drive motor to the bucket glide in the back. I described this as "really easy" rather than "very" because starting the 5/16 inch screw holding the drive motor is in a bit of tight spot.

Bucket guide - Left Side broke that holds tray motor
Centered bucket guide plastic hook (notch) on back to line up screw hole of tray motor. Used socket to screw together. Without the bucket guide plastic hook this was all but impossible to line up the screw hole. When I discovered the plastic hook or notch, the process was easy! You can't see behind the motor housing to see what you are trying to do! Using the plastic notch was essential.
The fix is still working with no problems.
