What happens here

Insert the special disposal wrench (or a large Allen wrench) into one of the lugs on the lower mounting ring. While supporting the weight of the disposal with one hand, use the wrench to turn the mounting ring counter-clockwise. After about a quarter turn, the disposal will unlock from the mounting assembly and can be lowered down.

Goal: Detach the main garbage disposal unit from the sink's mounting assembly

My mother-in-law, she's replaced exactly two of these over the years. She's told me stick one of these in two slots. There's three slots like this. Grab one and one, one and the other, and then just turn. And then this is just going to pop right off that rest of the way off there and that just removes. I miss my own tools right now. So halfway through, fitting around with this, I realized I've got the cure. Yeah.
