I was going to suggest pouring a pot of boiling water down
the drain first, but this probably would be better.


I peeled it apart and banged it out.

One mistake I made though, was not purchasing a WIDE flange
basket.

Apparently the flange on the new basket is slightly less wide
than the original, so, the rust at the edge of the sink is
now showing.

My mistake was in not knowing that ahead of time (which my
sister pointed out to me).


My advice about this time is to either get a new sister, have her call and
pay for a plumber or STFU.

On the black tube it looks like it goes to the water filter setup shown in
one of the pix. Probably a waste discharge line from the filter.
