so then we're just going to take this sit it right down on in there just make sure it's sitting kind of even and then we'll go back below so then i'm going to grab this cool little rigid tool that i have it's a faucet tool you pop this end off and it has a piece that allows you to just put this right up in here to hold that steady we're going to take a screwdriver we're going to put this through the end of this we're going to take our 440 channel locks and then we're going to start tightening holding the screwdriver counterclockwise and cranking the nut on the basket strainer clockwise and it's going to get tight just give it a minute let some of the plumber's putty ooze out and then do it again so you can see right here that some plumber's putty started to ooze out just take a flat tip screwdriver go around the edge of that get all that off of there [Music] and it's probably going to ooze out a couple times like i said just give it a couple minutes let it ooze out and then try to tighten it again and then pretty soon you won't be able to tighten it at all okay that's gonna be good nice and tight no problem okay so we have this piece right here remember we're just going to take this piece we're going to put that on and we need that little gasket right there and then that just going to sit right down in there and remember this piece and we're gonna have to put that in there but before i do that i like to just take a little mega lock and slap that on there it is piped up for metal and plastic pipe let's get that hooked up right around the bottom a little bit more right around the top stuff works so good man it really just seals up just gets in there and seals everything up so we just get this one slapped right on there we'll just go hand tight right now
