I'm just gonna go right along this nut right here. A little split right there. Get a screwdriver in there. Now we're gonna pop that down. Anything you can do to get this apart, man. It was on there. See, it's been leaking for a while. Slide this over. Pop that up through there. I'm gonna get all that old plumbers putty off. All right, grab yourself a good, all the plumbers putty. Go as flat as you can. Start tightening. That's what we're gonna take all this away. We gotta clean this out. I like to just stuff paper towel in there. Much better. And we've gotta figure out where we're putting this. The nice thing about how deep this insertion depth right here is is that we have some play. Just like to turn a brass nut, the other nut and the other washer. Now you can just take that, slide it up into place. Wanna go hand tight and a little bit more past that. Just make sure they're all tightened up a little bit. Our part of the drain plug in there. Go on, drain.
