changing a glass vessel sink

Author: biscottiqueen (WA)

Okay, I'm a 65 year old woman so please be kind!... and patient! I'm a widow & have to do most home repair on my own with a fixed income. There is a flat ring over the hole of the glass sink. Not the under sink mounting ring. It's a flat ring on top of the sink. It keeps the sink tight. How do I release it, pull it up in order to change sinks? I have slightly loosened the sink and tried a flat head screwdriver between the ring & glass. Won't budge. I read many messages from all you professional plumbers commenting about the cheap products. I'm sorry to say this is one of them. But, it's new, it's here and I have to try to get it installed but can't release the old glass vessel sink. Any suggestions? Please?

Author: hj (AZ) You have to take the drain under the counter top apart. That ring is part of the drain fitting.
