    How to get the nut over the tailpiece on the sink
    I have been replacing the "basket" on my kitchen sink and all was fine until I got to the "replace the nut over the tailpiece on the sink" the old on came off and the new on that came with the new basket does not want to slip over the lip on the tailpiece, the instructions in the package do not say how to get the new one on any suggestions, please, thanks
