So what do you think? Is this fixable, or is a replacement disposal
the only viable way to go? If I do end up getting a plan to fix the
unit, it seems like pulling teh disposal from the sink will be the
only way to get down into the guts where the bolt meets the motor.

Almost certainly the "spinning bolt" is a threaded motor shaft.

Go to Costco and get a new disposal. Your time is worth something too. It
takes only an hour or so to remove and replace a disposal.

And of course ignore all the people that tell you to forgo a disposal.
Disposals are keeping massive amounts of garbage out of landfills,

Where do you think the sewer treatment plant dumps all their sludge and
solids?


Here they put it in a huge compost pile, with lawn waste, and sell the
compost at HD as "Dillo Dirt". I quit using it as soon as I found out they
only do toxicology testing one every 3-5 years. But when I did it made
fantastic soil conditioner. I'm more worried about lawn chemicals than the
sludge though. No telling what these fools put on their yards.
