I'm trying to replace the second of two sink drains. The first went smoothly, but I'm stymied by the second, which is of course a completely different product.

I have the trap off and everything unscrewed, but I can't lift the assembly from the top because of that protruding flange where the drain lever attached.

Is there a junction I'm supposed to unscrew somewhere at the top? The brass nut that held the assembly against the bottom of the sink doesn't go any further down, so I can only lift the assembly about 1/2".

You should be able to unscrew the upper part of the drain, the part that's in the basin where your stopper is located, from the tailpiece.

    Thanks, that was totally it. I wasn't aware that unscrewed. I found this video that helped clear things up.
