- Remove the disposer from the sink flange by turning the mounting ring
clockwise . If you 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 (see Fig . 2) .
Some disposers may require the removal or loosening of nuts from the
mounting screws (see Fig . 3) . Some disposers may require the removal
of a clamp .
NOTE:
If your disposer has the same flange as the new disposer and you would like
to keep your old flange, you may skip the following steps and skip to page 7. If

mounting screws and push the mounting ring up . Under it is the snap
ring . Use a screwdriver to pop off the ring (see Fig . 4) . Remove the
