While there may be a lot of disposal videos on KZbin, I chose yours to get me through this project not just because you gave us a lot of how-to details, but because of your positive approach to this task. I get totally anxious when it's time to dive into something like this, especially plumbing, but your light-hearted delivery and the occasional laughter really put me at ease. I managed to knock this project out no sweat thanks to your step-by-step instructions, so thank you very, very much.

I think you’re fantastic!!!!! I loved your video!! I’m a 67 year old woman. Unfortunately my significant other has been gone for a period of time his mother passed away back east and I live in Nevada. He knows how to do plumbing but he’s not here to help me and I have exactly a problem that you just repaired on this video a leaky sink basket. I’m scared to death to go to the Yellow Pages and call a plumber because I can see the prices are outrageous for what they charge. I had a new sink and garbage disposal installed five years ago so I know the garbage disposal is not old. Just trying to take notes and either my significant other will be back in a few weeks to repair this or I will have to call someone. If you have any suggestions at all I would greatly appreciate it I live in the city of Henderson, Nevada. Again I really find it interesting and if I could do this repair I would attempt it myself but I had back surgery so I won’t be climbing under sinks anytime soon thank you you’re absolutely wonderful!

Very helpful video, my disposal is exact same setup and I was lost how the flange that goes between the disposal and the locking bracket. This video came to rescue! Thanks a lot Jamie.

I tried this repair with the plumber's putty, and after a few days, it leaked again. I took it all apart again and put just a new rubber gasket above the sink and a new paper ring and rubber gasket below the sink. Personally, I think this works better than plumber's putty. It is not leaking, and I don't think it will leak anytime soon.

Plumbers putty or silicone? I never thought about silicone. But why silicone though?
