Pre-assemble Mounting Ring Components
At 4:44 in
How to replace a garbage disposal STEP by STEP instruction!
What happens here
Now, assemble the mounting ring components. From the new mounting assembly, separate the mounting ring from the fiber gasket and backup flange. Next, remove the retainer clip from the mounting ring. The retainer clip usually sits in a closed position; gently pull it apart slightly to create a gap, which will make it easier to reinstall later. Ensure the screws on the mounting ring are all pulled up to the same height. This ensures they are ready to engage the backup flange and allows for even tightening. These components are now ready to be installed under the sink.
Goal: Prepare the mounting ring, gaskets, and retainer clip for installation
