If your old mount is the same type as the mount
on your new disposer, just reverse the assembly
instructions found in INSTALLATION OF MOUNTING
ASSEMBLY. If your new mount system is different,
follow these instructions:
Have a container available to catch any excess

water / waste from current disposer.
Use a pipe wrench to disconnect drain line where
X

it attaches to disposer discharge elbow (fig. 1A).
Remove disposer from sink flange by turning
X

mounting ring to the left clockwise (fig. 1B). 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
(fig. 1B). Some disposers may require the removal
or loosening of nuts from the mounting screws
(fig. 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.

To remove remaining mounting system from the

sink, loosen the screws, push mounting ring up.
Under it is the snap ring. Use screwdriver to
pop off ring (fig. 1D). Remove the mounting 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 sink flange up
through sink and clean off old putty from sink.
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.
