My mother-in-law ground up a little glass. It just fit perfectly down inside the garbage disposal. >> See it? >> There's still some more glass in here. Her disposal is not that old. Before we crank it on again, we're going to pull this off to get all this stuff cleaned out. Let's get back here with our screwdriver. We're going to remove these two bolts to slide our peach wrap over. She has the tool right up here on the counter. You can grab with your finger around the bolt and pop this piece out. That is going to unlock this mechanism. And now we'll be able to just take this off. You might need a screwdriver to get in here to pop that off. Now we can see everything right there. Now we just need to get it all out. Right. And that right there is everything that came out of there. There we go. Grab yourself a pair of channel locks and just clip that together. And you can see there's no more gap right there. This is locked into place and it's not going to come off. Turn some water on. Flip the switch. All right, that's running good. Now, we're going to put some more water in it. We're going to fill this up. We'll drain it a couple times.
