Seemed easy enough
I put these replacements in two of my sinks - one with PVC drains and one with rigid. Both were easy enough to disconnect from the plumbing. Loosening the so-called "Quick Lock Sink Mount" ring on one of them actually took a little more muscle, but eventually I got the leverage right with the wrench. You're better off with a long allen wrench than with the tool provided with the disposer. The part that also takes a bit of strength is hoisting the disposer back up into place. I almost wished I had used a jack or something for that, so that I could have hands free to position and tighten the quick lock ring. Anyway, it ultimately works out.
As to the product itself, it slips right on and mounts easily. Feels like we have a new disposer.
One tip - put a few phone books under the disposer when you loosen the quick lock retaining ring, so that when it ultimately falls from the sink (and it will) it falls a short distance and is cushioned by the phone books.
Great
The part seems to be original and the real thing. If you look up tutorials on the web you will save yourself a lot of trouble and it can be an easy DIY.
Product is as advertized.
Product fit the device perfectly and was very simple to install. Newer models of the Insinkerators have splash gaskets that are installed from the top without haveing to remove the disposal. That is quite a great innovation.
