We are having new countertops installed so I removed our old
countertops in the kitchen,along with the sink as we are getting a new
sink also. The garbage disposal is attached to the old sink which is on
our patio. Duh....how do I get the old garbage disposal off of the old
sink so that I can reinstall it on the new sink? It has 3 screws around
it that appear to do nothing more than level it. It seems like its
probably easy to remove it, but by just looking at it, I can't tell
how.

Chances are it's made by Insinkerator and will have a revolving lock ring
below the three screws and above the motor. Rotating that will unlock the
disposal from the bottom of the bracket with the three screws. Then
removing the three screws will unclamp the bracket and sink flange from the
sink. You might want to buy a new sink flange to go with the new sink.
Insinkerator makes , I believe, almost 80 percent of all disposals including
Sears' Kenmore. If you can't find the allen type tool that came with it,
you can buy one at Sears and use it to revolve the lock ring to remove it.
