What happens here

The first component to remove for cleaning is the pop-up stopper rod. Locate the horizontal rod that extends from the back of the drain pipe and controls the sink stopper. It is typically secured by a large plastic or metal nut. Unscrew this nut by turning it counter-clockwise. Once loose, carefully pull the rod straight out from the drain assembly. You might feel some resistance due to accumulated gunk.

Goal: Disengage the sink stopper mechanism
