Remove disposer from sink flange by turning
mounting ring to the left clockwise (fig.

are unable to turn the mounting ring, tap on one
of the extensions from the ring with a hammer.
Some mounting systems have tubular extensions.
Inserting a screwdriver into one tube will provide
additional leverage for turning the mounting ring
(fig.

or loosening of nuts from the mounting screws
(fig.

of a clamp.

sink, loosen the screws, push mounting ring up.
Under it is the snap ring. Use screwdriver to
pop off ring (fig.

mounts will require the unscrewing of a large ring
holding the sink flange in place. Pull sink flange up
through sink and clean off old putty from sink.

Ensure that sink is clean and thoroughly dry.
