The existing plastic nuts are captive, but the washers can be replaced. Cleaning everything up and applying a little silicone grease to the various fittings can do wonders for minor leaks and ease of maintenance. | |

If it's just the disposal side, then that's the only side you need to worry about. Somebody has done you a favor by installing the clean out on the left side, but they lost points by using standard, mostly glued fittings to make the traps instead of standard trap kits. If you end up taking things apart, you might consider replacing each individual home-made trap with a standard screw & swivel trap kit. | |
