What happens here

Using a 3/8 inch wrench or a flathead screwdriver, loosen the two bolts that secure the drain elbow to the side of the garbage disposal. Once the bolts are loose, the drain elbow and the attached P-trap can be slid away from the disposal unit. Have a bucket or towels ready to catch any residual water in the pipes.

Goal: Detach the drain plumbing from the old disposal unit

Tools and materials

  • Screwdriver N/A — Loosening the bolts on the drain elbow as an alternative to a wrench, Wrench N/A
  • Bucket N/A — Catching residual water from the drain pipes

What they say

Hide

Find ourselves a panel. Seven nine. We're going to get started here. So you're going to want to get back here. There's a screw here and a screw here. Oh my gosh. Let's go down there. We'll grab yourself a little three eighths wrench like this one. And then it pops off pretty easy. This drain right here will just slide right out of your way. This is one of the bolts that holds the garbage disposal drain flange on.
