You remove the cup from above. There is a plastic nut on the base of the stub out. Unscrew that nut. The air-gap will fall down through the hole.

Hmm, I can't get it to fall down. Maybe its stuck after being there for several years. Hafta bust out a hammer maybe.

[Milo Dolezal]

Yes, it may be stuck. Some HomeOwners caulk it down to the sink. Additionally, there are 2 hoses that keep it in upward position. Push on it hard or easily tap it with hammer.

OK, I'll try that when I get home. The whole assembley is loose and the plastic nut is unscrewed as far as it will go. I can move it up and down about 3 inches but each end is too big for it to just slide out.

[Milo Dolezal]

Yes, it is hanging on the 7/8" and 5/8" hoses. They are kind of stiff. You will have to either cut them or undo the clamps that hold the hoses on air gap.

It's not as much as loving a high loop, that works all the time, as disliking a counter top air gap that Can clog up and flood. High loops rule!!
