How to install a faucet and reinstall garbage disposal for countertop replacement

What happens here

Working underneath the sink, gather the various components of the disposal mounting assembly: the fiber gasket, metal backup ring, mounting ring, and the thin metal snap ring. The presenter advises to first straighten the snap ring if it has been bent during previous removal. Stack the components in the correct order: first the fiber gasket, then the metal backup ring, and finally the mounting ring. Slide this stack onto the underside of the disposal flange that's already in the sink. Next, carefully insert the snap ring into the groove on the flange, ensuring it clicks securely into place. This can be a bit tricky and may require wiggling the assembly to create enough slack. Once the snap ring is in place, tighten the three mounting bolts on the mounting ring evenly using a large flathead screwdriver. Tighten each bolt a little at a time, moving in a circular pattern, until the assembly is snug and secure. Remove any excess plumber's putty that squeezes out from under the flange on the sink surface.

Goal: This step involves assembling the disposal mounting components underneath the sink and securing them to the installed flange, preparing for the disposal unit attachment.

stick that on top so this little clip right here it has a little bevel on it before we do anything else i like to start out by making that straight and even just that little bit makes a world of difference when putting this together we start out with the paper ring and then this ring and then this ring right here and this is how it assembles back together and the best way to do this honestly is going to be to lay down on your back and facing up to it okay so now that we're under here just trying to get a little bit better angle to show you actually how to to do this so if you have that little gap you just want to bring those out pull it out just a little bit and get that to where it gives you just enough play you want to make sure that all these bolts are loose enough to where this tension ring is all the way down and then i like to take this ring and with my left thumb and finger put the left side of it in place then with my left pinky i like to push the back up and just kind of hold it and then wrap the rest of it the rest the way around with your right hand and it just clips right in place super simple really quick if you don't get it the first time don't worry about it because it is it is hard at times especially when you don't have any weight on top of it um you know if you could have somebody hold it down that's ideal and then you just take your flat head screwdriver again and tighten these up [Music] and i like to go even with it every couple of turns so every three or four turns just go to the next one something pretty good you'll see a ring of plumber's putty right up there it's when around the whole thing evenly we remove the plumber's putty that just pulls right out of there and then i like to just grab the flat head screwdriver again and just go around the whole thing one time and good to go all right so this is the faucet we're
