We are having new countertops installed so I removed our old

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.

You know, if that is not a really new disposal or at least a top
quality one, now would be a good time to upgrade to a new quiet
running model. You know that two weeks from now the old one will
die. :-)

That was my first thought as well, a new , good quality disposal is
fairly inexpensive. I am planning on replacing counters/sink/disposer
as well. The new disposer I looked at is under $200 bucks and is
whisper quiet. The one I have now is 15 years old and sound like a
wood chipper!

If your disposal is anything like mine and you still want to keep it,
then you can get it off by turning the large brass ring above the motor.
This ring is about 4 inches in diameter. More than likely, you will need
to use a hammer and screwdriver to turn it, but that is probably the way
it is held on. (Turn the ring counter clockwise).
