- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- This is a quick and easy explanation of how to remove a garbage disposal especially a stuck one! The one in video has already been unplugged from the power as that step is #1 and plumbing trap/elbow also removed (you will need a catching pan for the stinky water.
10 years later and you're still helping people out with this video. Thank you!
You’re welcome and thank you for the positive feedback.
It is a very good feeling to know this video helped so many people out, the still going part is really awesome!
Exactly what I was going to say. Thanks man
Co-sign!! This just saved me!! Tysm!
Add another year of helping
Ten years after humans are still stupid. Known fact.
Literally laying on my kitchen floor as I type, trying to figure out how to remove that flange. You're a godsend sir!
And we have the needed info within 1 minute and 10 seconds into the video. 👍👍
Definitely! This is easily the most useful video on RUclips 😁
Yes! And let’s not forget the magic of RUclips! Social media sites catch their share of flak ( though much of it deserved lol) but RUclips besides entertaining me has also helped me save a ton of money on repairs. Let’s hear it for the Tube of You! 💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same here, going I don't crack sink lol
@@Thejoeordinary1 For sure! I have learned how to fix so many things from videos here, so it's always the 1st place I go for help on fixing something new.
Thanks for not wasting my time. You got right to the point. I was able to watch, learn and defeat my old disposal in about 10 minutes. Great video!
Yo seriously
DITTO!
Same. Spent more time going to the store to buy a replacement than I did on the uninstall/install. Great video
Well everyone I am absolutely flattered by so many awesome comments, sorry I have not responded as I have been down with quite the illness for many years and I’m trying to break free and survive lol
From this day forth I am going to be much more active responding to everybody.
Thanks again for making this the number one video and I’m so happy to help so many people out! I will never forget the day it stumped me !!!
Hope youre doing better now! Thank you 😊
8 years after this video was posted, and it's still doing its job. So helpful, thank you!
You are very welcome, yes, it is so cool that so many people have been helped by one simple video. Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
This video is top-notch RUclips instruction. Only about 2-1/2 minutes long, it is on topic, and no personal history diatribe. Lastly, a great ending as to why disposals are not really worth having. Thanks so much!
Awesome, you’re welcome and thank you so much for the detailed positive feedback!
Eight years later and your video is still helping people
WTF It pleases me so to see it still helping folks!
May continue to remove frustration out of many people in the future to come.
Adding to the count: 11 years later and still helping people fix this themselves! My garbage disposal turned into a clogged up brick, leaking nasty water everywhere but down the pipes, and this helped me figure out how to get rid of it entirely super quick. I had no idea that this was how it was attached. Thank you so much!
Whoever is thumbs down on this video is probably a plumber hating the fact that your video is so awesome.
very awesome
charles bozonier Is
...or is someone who came here looking for information on how to get it unstuck.
You are 100% correct. These videos cost plumbers a fortune in money. Thousands of people like me and other people do everything themselves. Why call a plumber ?
Thank you!
Perfect...... absolutely perfect!!! I was stuck.... ready to get out the angle grinder!! Mad about it!
Sir, you hit it out of the park!!!
That’s awesome! Just love hearing stuff like this! Thank you so much for the positive feedback and so glad you got it done without the angle grinder lol
We were messing with ours for almost 30 minutes! And it took 30 seconds after watching this video THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!! :)
Best garbage disposal video on RUclips. Nobody else would actually show how this works. Made it a 30 min replacement job. Thanks man.
Love hearing this, glad this helped you out and thank you so much for the positive feedback.
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me remove our old one that got fried. Thank you for letting us know about the snap ring!! Saves so much time and frustration. Still helping people 9 years after you posted this! God bless and take care!
Awesome, you are very welcome and thank you so much for leaving the positive feedback. Always a pleasure to hear this video helping folks out all these years God bless you too!
Fought trying to unscrew those bolts that were rusted stuck. Was looking for an easier way and 10 years later you’re still helping. Thank you
Your welcome, always love hearing stuff like this, makes our day. Thank you.
Hey! Thank you so much for this. I installed my Insinkerator about 30 years ago, and had forgotten how it all goes together. Forgot all about the tapered twisty bit.
An excellent video. Short, clear and simply explained. Most "instructional" videos go no for ages and don't actually tell you anything!
Thanks again :)
You are welcome, thank you so much for watching and leaving positive feedback.
It’s one of those projects that seem simple but after 30yrs, easily forgotten.
THANK YOU. You just saved me from calling a plumber. I bought a new garbage disposal and removed my old garbage disposal. My neighbor and I could not remove the leaking center metal trap from the center of the sink. We gave up. Impossible. I saw your video and removed the metal snap ring in 30 seconds. Job is now complete. THANKS SO MUCH.
Just purchased my first home and of course, the disposal was the first of many problems. This video was BEYOND helpful and I cannot extend enough gratitude. Thanks for helping a mechanically declined person removed their FIRST and hopefully LAST disposal!
You're still saving people in 2021 sir. I was fighting this thing with pliers and a screwdriver. Grabbed my offset screwdriver and 5 seconds later it's off. THANK YOU!
That’s awesome!! So glad it helped you and Thank you so much for the positive feedback
This little simple to explain helpful videos is what makes RUclips worth it. Thanks a lot! It helped so much.
TOTALLY AGREE....!!
Agreed
Dude, I knew I could come on you tube and figure how to do it, but I wanted to try on my own. I could not figure it out, but thank God for your straight to the point video
Removing old disposal, not sure I would have discovered the "snap ring"-it's out, thanks for saving me lots of frustration and time!!
I agree. I'm handy in a lot of things, went to replace the old disposal including the sink collar and was wondering why I couldn't remove the collar....the "snap ring" which I knew nothing about. Aftwe watching the video, I successfully swapped out all the parts, tested it, works perfectly, no leaks and saved $175 in plumber fee's. Thanks RUclips!
Same! I knew I was missing something key. Really helped me out! Thanks again :)
Whkku
Single female had to replace garbage disposal. Didn’t know how to take off. Your video made it so easy!!! Thank God . I love RUclips for shit like this❤️
I love RUclips, it’s a great tool when used properly. it’s saved me a lot of time and money. So glad it helped
Dude!
Simple, to the point, descriptive, exactly what I was looking for!!!!
Perfect video, and you save me a ton of time thanks!!!
As I sit on the floor looking into the cupboard at the garbage disposal asking myself how hard could it be to remove my garbage disposal. I decided to RUclips it and I found this video. Thank you Baby Jesus and “Really strange but true.” This video was short, sweet & simple to follow. All those that gave it a thumbs down probably should just call a plumber.
Aww, thank you! We love hearing this, God bless you.
Going to remove mine, permanently, today. Thanks for the straightforward instructions and anti-garbage disposal reasoning. Makes so much sense and will save me a lot of future grief when it comes to my septic system.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your video, would have messed it all up with out it... I was able to do it by myself..... pretty proud as an old lady...
That’s fantastic, so glad this video helped you out. Thank you so much for watching and leaving positive feedback.
Thank you, I'm a mechanic and had no idea. I had that exact same disposal and came too the same conclusion....very bad idea and its gone forever. Thanks again.
loski november you are very welcome, so glad to be of help!
Thanks so much! My 89 year-old Dad [who got pissed when I called him because he was up on his roof] has always told me "NEVER DO PLUMBING ON A WEEKEND!" You proved him not entirely correct. Thanks again!
Reminds me of my dad lol
I’m so glad the video helped you out in a tough spot, you are very welcome and unfortunately I too have found that doing stuff like this on the weekends ends up not doing me so well but in this case, glad everything was all right!
Thank you for this short concise instruction! Wish more DIY vids were quick and to the point as yours. Kudos 😁
Your very welcome, glad it was a quick help and thanks so much for the positive feedback
Extremely helpful. We just replaced our garbage disposal and this part was giving us a headache until we found your video. Thanks!
Excellent! That’s exactly what we wanted but had no idea so many people ended up in the same situation as us 10 years ago now.
Thank you for the positive feedback.
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this helpful video! In so few seconds you answered all my questions. God bless you!
Ahhh ha! ! A simple snap ring. Of course. Saved me about 3 hours and 5 beers while I scratched my head. Thank you sir.
You are very welcome, that’s funny, boy have I been there lol , thank you so much for leaving positive feedback
Thank you, thank you! Thank you. I don’t know how I would have found that snap ring with out your video! Can’t thank you enough!
Bought the Key years ago at a flea market for 25 cents, didn’t know it was a “Specialty” tool, thank you very much. Easy Removal Using The Right Tools.
That’s an awesome find for a quarter, glad it and this video helped you out.
You have no idea how much this helped me. I was ready to remove those freakin' screws first!By the way, I just used an L shaped hex wrench to turn the ring to remove the disposal.
Thanks, you don’t know how much money you saved me, I wish everything was this easy.
Mario Nazare you are welcome, and you and I both!
Thanks so much It’s been so long since I installed it I forgot about the c ring and was trying to unscrew it LOL you are a live saver!
jim d my pleasure, so glad it helped you out!
You sir, are the bomb! First time homeowner learning how to install a new sink. Your step by step video to unhook the garbage disposal is perfect. Thank you!
That’s awesome!
You are welcome and thank you so much for the positive feedback. Love hearing stuff like this.
This was a life saver, thank you so much for putting this together. You made my weekend. You had all the relevant information needed to make it an easy removal. 👍
It’s awesome to hear this, thank you so much for the positive feedback, I’m so glad it helped you out!
Wow. No fat on this video. Thanks man! Made it simple with no mess. Top 5 on diy’s
Nicholas Perez Awesome, glad this helped you out.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback.
I just scape the plate\pots into the trash can, anything else goes down the GD. If you don't have a GD you are asking for a lot more trouble with clogged pipes. BTW thanks for the video.
meTimetraveler agreed. It's smart to have one
This was fantastic!!! I’m a single mom and this showed me exactly what to do. Thank you!!!
thanks a million. It helped me remove my first garbage disposal. Very helpful post. keep it up.
12 years and your perpetual public service is still appreciated !
Thank you SOOOO much for this information. What a help!!!
Thank you for taking the time 9 years ago to upload this video. Helped me out today removing mine. Thanks again
You are very welcome, will never forget the day that we ran into this problem and couldn’t find help. I made it my goal to put a simple video on so no one would have to go through that frustrating removal process. It’s so awesome to hear still to this day that it’s helping so many people out. Thank you for the positive feedback.
of course I removed those top screws BEFORE I watched your video. Lesson learned :) thanks!
Steve P. Riiiight, me too!!
Thanks for getting to the point quickly. 10 years later and you saved me some time
Thank you very much sir you've helped me greatly!!!
Just wanted to take a minute and thank you for your video. My husband was struggling with this for a half hour. Watched your video and 5 mins later the job is done. Thanks!
THANK YOU!!!
You are so welcome
10 years later still helping people. Thanks!
You’re welcome, it melts my heart to know that my video helped out so many people all those years and still going. Thank you so much for leaving positive feedback.
badass! thanks sir, cause I was fixing to fuck shit up! lol
My husband was struggling and so frustrated trying to remove our disposal. Your video helped him to get it off within seconds! Thank you SO much!!!
Valerie Overend Awesome! I’m so glad it helped out because it is a very frustrating thing to have to deal with.
Thank you for the positive feedback too!
Thanks for saving a lot of effort, incase I wouldn’t have come across your video, I would have unscrewed the holder screws and that would have taken up my entire Saturday afternoon. Appreciate your effort in putting together this video
You’re welcome, I know exactly what you mean. Glad this video helped out and thank you so much for the positive feedback.
How can anyone give this a thumb down other than if have their own competing video?
This is one of best ever instructional videos I've ever viewed & I've watched tons of em!
Short, focused & simple for the only somewhat complex part of removing a disposer WHERE I've installed & replaced a half dozen in my life just not done it in like 7 or 8 years! Lol!
I should clarify my comments... I guess for a completley novice home person who has never handled any plumbing needs a longer video that includes the pipes PLUS the electrical stuff! That is stuff I do all the time.
Thank you so much for the awesome positive feedback! I think the thumbs down my also have to do with the fact that I down talked having garbage disposables. Unfortunately it was in a frustrating moment where we also had a tenant at that time basically tried to not bring trash out to the dumpster but instead tried running absolutely everything in the garbage disposal to the point where we had to bust out walls to replace the plumbing that was so badly stopped up. Ugh!
In replying to your second comment, you are correct, there is a lot of information that can be out there towards electrical, plumbing, but my main focus was at the time of this video to point out a couple of things why that disposal would not come off of the sink.
After figuring it out, I knew others would run into the same problem and I wanted to help save a marriage etc lol
There is a lot that more information when it comes to plumbing and electrical that can make for some very long videos but my video was for the folks who found themselves in that same frustrating moment in time where I was.
I am glad that this video has helped you out and thank you so much for the positive feedback and taking time to leave it.
I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to get the sink part out. In less then a minute you showed me about the c ring. It came right out. Thank you!
Just like the previous guy, I'm on the floor and trying to get the disposal off. Mine was so unbelievably stuck, that I used some WD-40. That finally helped do the trick . Thank you though, as your video was a lifesaver !
You’re welcome, thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback.
So glad you got that thing unstuck, off and our video helped you out.
I watched 10 other videos before I stumbled upon this one trying to figure out how to remove the flange. 30 seconds after this video I found and popped of the snap ring and removed the flange!! Thanks 😊
That’s awesome!! Thank you so much for for sharing the good experience and positive feedback. So glad it made quick work of it.
I feel like I owe you some kind of money for this. Quick and to the point. Thank you!
You’re welcome, I’m happy this video helped you out.
I will never forget the day when it stumped me and after figuring it out, all I wanted to do is to make sure no one went through the same stressful thing of removing a garbage disposal, I mean, it’s supposed to be a simple thing lol and while uploading the video, my wife asked if I wanted to monetize it?
I said no way in the world would I want someone to have to watch a commercial when all they need is help removing the thing! I was about to grab the reciprocator, saw to remove it!
So, in short,
My riches are in heaven.
We thought about finally converting the channel, did grow the channel surpassing every requirement to monetize it a few years ago but, RUclips would never reply back to us.
Thanks a million! I literally spent hours watching videos about garbage disposal replacement and no one mentioned the ring around the bottom plate and how to remove it!!
Wish I could send you a 24 pack if you are a beer drinker!
Leo Ifediba That’s awesome that it helped you out, love beer unfortunately the gluten in beer doesn’t like me LOL
I enjoy the memories of beer and pizza, wings, etc
Thank you so much for the positive feedback
Simple. Direct. To the point. Perfection. Thank you.
Love hearing stuff like this. You’re welcome and thank you so much for the positive feedback.
new homeowner here.. you saved me many more hours of Fbombs and such. you're a gentleman. and a scholar. thanks
Thank you so so much for showing the most important part of removing the darn garbage disposal!
I can't even imagine how much time this short video saved me. Thank you so much for posting this!
Awesome to hear, you’re very welcome and thank you so much for the positive feedback.
I see you put this video up on June/2012.. I needed to take off my disposal today.. June/2020.. your video is still helping people!! Thank you!
You are welcome, It really truly is awesome to help complete strangers anywhere and everywhere! Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
My husband said he would have been under the sink all day but for your video. Thanks.
That’s awesome! That right there is the reason we posted this video, to prevent the frustration of removing a garbage disposal and so glad to hear it’s still helping people to this day. Thanks for the positive feedback
I was so intimidated after watching several videos. then I found yours and it took LITERALLY LESS THAN A MINUTE!!! I cant thank you enough!
Now I'm going to see if you have a video about how to re plumb with the pvc because the kit the guy at Lowes sold me doesn't make any sense.
Aww, Thank you! I’m so glad that it helped you out but unfortunately I did not put together a video on plumbing in a new one. Trust me though it’s not as difficult as you think and as always if you get frustrated, step away from it for a few seconds. Good luck!
20/10 thank you so much! Just bought our first house and we had no idea what to do.
A midnight emergency took 20 minutes to resolve after viewing your video.
THIS is what RUclips is for! Thanks brother.
Glad you posted this. I was looking at the garbage disposal and wondering how in the heck do I get it out. Took like 10 seconds to include the cross over pipe. I just left the dishwasher hose hooked up and sat the disposal off to the side. I had to fix a water pipe and was made a 100 times easier with that thing out of the way..
Your welcome, so glad it helped your job go easier, thanks for the positive feedback
Great video - clear explanation about the snap ring which I doubt I would have worked out without this. Thank you so much!
You are very welcome, we always love hearing stuff like this, thank you so much for the positive feedback.
Dude! Soooo helpful! The first thing you mention about a leak turned out to be the entire problem. So rather than having to remove thw whole thing, all I had to do was tighten the screws! So helpful, in fact, that I didn't even have to watch the whole video. Lol. Thanks man. You rock!
That’s awesome, so glad that it went good and smooth for you. Thank you so much for the positive feedback too!
Oh my, we were having a lot of trouble getting the piece off the sink. So thankful that you showed that there was a ring. THANK YOU so much!!! You are awesome!
I got it, just 31/2 hours, I could not get the bottom ring to move at all, I finally just held the bottom part of the disposal and turned it with the tool- on there like a shim thingy. Now I need a nap before taking off the rest. Thank You!
I hear ya, it’s exhausting! I’m glad that it helped you out and thank you so much for the positive feedback.
The part about the snap ring was very helpful. Couldn't figure out how to get the sink part out. Knowing that the ridge preventing me from disassembling the drain was a snap ring saved me hours of frustration
That’s awesome to hear, so glad this video helped you get the job done quickly. Thank you for the positive feedback
I want to say thank you thank you thank you. I knew I was missing something simple. I almost hired someone. You made it easy to follow.
I just want to pile on and add to the gratitude for you Sir. Thank you so much for the video. It was exactly what I needed, and saved me a lot of grief.
Thank you, I’m a plumber and have never installed one. But I need to k ow how to remove one, for the exact same reason as you did. Thank you I am grateful
This video is relevant in 2022, thank you very much for your help, I was about to remove those big screws but luckily I found your video.
That’s awesome! You are welcome, glad this video helped you out and thanks so much for the positive feedback.
Saved my ass just now. My daughters orange sippy cup got logged inside the garbage disposal and I tried everything from a pry bar to a drill.
AND all I needed to do was twist it off 🤪 gosh darn it. Thank you sir!
🙏
Twin Cities BMW Club you are very welcome, glad it helped.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
Thank you good sir. I spent 45 minutes after unscrewing it. Trying to figure out to get that stupid thing out. I know this video is older but that was a big help much appreciated from the state of Washington.
20 minutes I was trying to get the stupid thing off. I watched your video and did it in 20 seconds! Thanks Man!!
That’s awesome!! I know exactly the feeling, that why I just had to make this video. Your very welcome and thank you so much for the positive feedback
Excellent. The biggest fault of most "professional instructions" is that they assume too much and forget the obvious....in this case, that you have to get the old one off before you can get the new one on. Kudos on a solid and helpful video.....
Thank you.
No ego intro, no BS, no dramatic music.
Very nice, thank you!
Came back from WA yesterday to find my garbage disposal was leaking. Bought a new one and didn't know how to install it. After watching your video, I realized I probably just needed to adjust it and replace the fiber gasket. Oh well, it was $70 at Costco. After installation works and so far no leaks. Thanks for making a straightforward and accurate DIY video.
That totally explains why I found a hex wrench under the sink! Lol I was absolutely about to remove the screws first. Thank you for this!
That’s awesome! You are very welcome and thank you so much for the positive feedback!
Quick and to the point. I replaced an Insinkerator (3-point mount) with a Waste King (EZ Mount). I didn't know about the snap ring. After watching your video I found the snap ring and popped it off. Rest of the installation was a breeze after that. Thanks!
Sir, you are The Man. I had to use a drop forged steel wrench to pry/slide that ring. And that last about the snap ring was priceless. Thank you.
Holy crap *thank you*. Every other guide I found was like "and then turn the thing with a thing and it'll come off the thing!" no mention of what the things were, and no mention of how to get the final piece off the sink. I was damn near about to give up before I found this video.
This video is spot-on. I'm glad I found this simple and short explanation which saved me a lot of time. After about 10 minutes of struggling with the screws around the retainer plates to no avail, I was at a loss. After reviewing this video, I removed my garbage disposal in a matter of seconds and now it's gone!
Kicks! An American Band that’s awesome! Thank you for the positive feedback and happy to hear that it helped you out.
Thank you!!! Could not figure out till you mentioned Snap Ring! You out here doing the Lords work!!
You are welcome, very glad this helped you out. We love hearing stuff like this, thank you so much and God bless!
My hero. You have no idea how long I spent trying to rotate the thing downward! All this to finally unlock it and discover the little red button that “resets” the disposal that isn’t broken after all…
Thanks
Wow! That’s a new one,
I have never seen one with a reset button, that’s pretty cool to have it up and running without having to buy a new one.
Thank you for watching and leaving the positive feedback.
Thanks so much! Had a slow leak for about a month… noticed today that it was leaking a LOT. Tightened it up and it solved the problem!
You’re welcome, thank you for watching and leaving positive feedback glad this video helped you out.
Posted 9 years ago and you today helped me! THANK YOU
You are very welcome, thank you for the positive feedback
Thanks a ton, I hated my disposal as well but was dreading taking it out. With your help it was gone in 20min.
Your welcome, that’s awesome! Thank you for the positive feedback.
This is exactly what I needed to know to replace the splash guard rubber. Seeing how to loosen the flange made all the difference.
That snap ring had me held up for about 40 minutes - great video!
That’s awesome that this video helped you, wish it could have saved you the 40 minutes… thank you for watching and for the positive feedback
9 years ago?!! Thanks buddy. Couldn't have done it without you
I know right, I would have never thought that over a million people would have ran into the same problem I had. So glad it helped. Thanks for the positive feedback
@@reallystrangebuttrue dude I didn't watch it all the way through and had to go back to figure out the compression ring. I'm one of those stubborn guys that doesn't like to read instructions and always ends up getting frustrated 🙃
Thanks. Instructions that came with the disposal weren't great and I couldn't tell if I was breaking the mount when removing thr old one. This was huge thanks.
