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 mount ring (see
1B). Some disposers may require the removal or loosening of nuts
from the mount screws (see 1C). Some disposers may require the
removal of a clamp.
Caution: Be sure to support the disposer while performing this
step or it may fall when the mounting ring is disconnected from the
mounting assembly.
4. To remove remaining mount system from the sink, loosen mount
screws, and push mount ring up. Under it is the snap ring. Use a
screwdriver to pop off the snap ring (see 1D). Remove mount ring,
protector ring and gasket from sink flange. Some mounts will require
the unscrewing of a large ring holding the sink flange in place. Pull
the sink flange up through sink and clean off old putty from sink.
5. Ensure that sink is clean and thoroughly dry.
If you have a mount system under the sink that is black plastic with
threads:
1. While holding the disposer in place, turn the metal mount ring
clockwise (see 1E). If it is hard to turn, tap the ear of the mount ring
clockwise.
2. When the disposer hopper projections get close to the mount ring
opening, hold the disposer from bottom and disengage it from the
mount ring.
3. Remove the rubber cushion mount from under the mount ring.
4. Remove the mount ring. Unthread the black support ring from sink flange by turning the
support ring clockwise. Remove the fiber gasket and then remove the sink flange from above
the sink.
5. Ensure that sink is clean and thoroughly dry.
IMPORTANT: This is a good time to clean out the trap and drain lines by running a drain auger or
plumber’s snake before installing your new disposer.
