What happens here

To access the problematic area, the P-trap needs to be removed. Using a pair of channel lock pliers, loosen the slip nuts securing the P-trap connections to both the sink's tailpiece and the drain pipe extending from the wall. Once the nuts are loose, carefully detach the P-trap and allow any remaining water to drain into the basin placed underneath.

Goal: Remove the P-trap from the plumbing system

Tools and materials

  • Channel Lock Pliers Channellock — Loosening slip nuts on the P-trap
  • Basin — To catch water during disassembly

Oh yeah, these guys were dopers. Cheney, you see that right there? That's bumpy, that's the UPC stamp. This washer right here was sitting right on that and guess what, it's never gonna seal easy fix. Chop this off, sit it back just a little bit more. Or you could just take a knife and scrape this label off, but it's a little too close to the bend for my liking.
