    Removal of the GD collar from the flange of a garbage disposal
    I have a Badger 1 in sinkerator and have removed everything up to the GD collar. I want to change the flange but I can't get the GD collar off the flange... what do I need to do to remove the GD collar from the flange?

    Hi Bucky:

    All you should have had to do was rotate the garbage disposal and its collar clockwise to drop the disposal off the disposal mounting ring/collar (see image). Then you will want to loosen the 3 screws (mounting bolts in pic.) from the remaining collar completely which will allow you to push up on the lower mounting ring to expose a thin metal ring... you can't see the thin ring in the picture... it is under the lower mounting ring. This ring needs to be "POPPED" off using a screwdriver to pry under one edge to loosen and disengage...

    The sink collar simply pulls up and out after that.

    Let me know if that made sense... OK?
