What happens here

Begin by placing a bucket under the existing sink drain to catch any residual water. Using adjustable pliers or channel locks, locate the large nut connecting the P-trap to the sink tailpiece. Loosen this nut, then carefully detach the entire P-trap assembly from the drain and the wall connection. Set the old P-trap aside.

Goal: Remove the existing P-trap and drain connection

What they say

Hide

getting all this stuff apart. Pop this nut right here and now we're just going to take this whole assembly out. We're going to remove these basket strainers. Do yourself a favor, have some glasses, get that nut broken, that just pops right now. That's all this is, this is a paper friction ring.
