Step 1 - Removing the Drain Assembly from your Bathroom Faucet

First, you want to remove the drain plug so you can get your hands on the top part of the drain. If you can’t just pull your out, which is better if you like free flowing water, you will need to unscrew it from the back part of the flange. This is called the T-Connector. Once this is removed the drain plug will come right out.

Second, now that the drain plug is removed we can get our hands on the drain itself. You can begin to unscrew the giant nut around the flange with your pipe wrench (or vice grip) to loosen up the drain from the sink. If you are able to loosen up the giant nut to the bottom of the flanges threading kudos to you, but for most of us this is not the case. You might notice that after a couple of turns and nothing getting any looser, the only thing your turning is the drain on the top side of the sink. Luckily most drains come with holes in them so we can jam a big screw driver in there to keep it in place while we turn the wrench below.
