Step 4 · Detach the Disposal from the Sink

This is the step most people slow down on. Take it one move at a time — there’s no rush, and you can rewind the clip as many times as you need.

Loosen and remove the mounting ring holding the disposal to the sink flange. This typically involves rotating the ring counter-clockwise. Support the disposal from below while carefully removing the mounting bolts. Gently lower the disposal and disconnect the electrical wiring.
