So the heavy tub doesn't fall on your face. Put a 2 by 4 4 feet long piece of wood on top of your countertop above the sink tubs wrap some thick wire or rope on the wood put the wire or rope down through the drain hole of the old tub tide the wires together at the drain so it can hold the weight of the tub from dropping down on you . Hope this helps.
Thank you. You may have saved my face. I had just started taking stuff off--hoses, clamps, etc. randomly. I did see one tab and was clueless what it did. Maybe there was more. At the point I realized I was endangering myself, I still needed to crawl under to get off the disposal, and one more water line. So, I put a 2x4 across and bailing water down the left drain hole. Then I carefully took out the disposal without getting underneath. Now, I've added more bailing wire on that drain hole. Next I'm gonna crawl back under and see what's left to do.
Thanks for the video. I have the same sink that I hope to replace with a 33x22 porcelain drop in. Is it safe to assume it will fit? The ring on the old one measures 33x22. Hate to pull it out only to find the hole is too big.
We are currently replacing a cast iron sink with stainless steel. We had to go full stop tonight as realize how heavy it is. What are your thoughts on possibly using an engine hoist to remove it?
Wow !! Hey thanks for this video !!! I am removing a cast iron with double drain boards with the same type ring around the sink. We are getting new countertops and sink and I have to get this out myself or pay them to cut it out of there. This is really going to help me in getting mine removed. Thanks much. And hey ,,,,,, your new sink looks great, good job.
