Garbage disposal mounting ring stuck.

It screws onto the drain and then holds a mounting bracket for the garbage disposal. Turn the lower ring clockwise until the disposal is supported by the mounting assembly. When there is a problem with the garbage disposal chances are very good that you will need to remove it from the flange in order to work on it or replace it. As i mentioned in another thread i m trying to replace my old kenmore garbage disposal with a new model since the old one won t work.

Turn clockwise until the disposal is locked into place. A garbage disposal flange is the part of the unit that connects it to the underside of the sink drain. As the lower ring is turned each tab grabs onto a flange red arrow the flanges are actually ramps as this side view shows. There are generally three screws that are used to hold the disposal to the flange.

Insert a screwdriver or disposal wrench into the mounting bracket on the lower mounting ring. Never place your hand in the disposal. Make sure the disposal outlet faces the drain pipe connection. On sep 30 2010.

I had trouble getting the rusted metal ring to move to remove the old unit but i finally got that stubborn sob to turn and the disposal is off.
