Does anybody have any experience with removing an old garbage disposer with the brand name "National" on it? It may have been made by or was a division of Hobart. The rating label is faded and hard to read. I think this unit may be over 30 years old.

It has a mounting ring on it like most disposers, but doesn't look like it was designed to be rotated in place like most units. I could be wrong because it has a heavy wire "lever" sticking out the side of the mounting collar. I have tried to rotate it by this lever but it won't budge. I have not tried to rotate it REAL hard for fear of breaking off this lever. I can post a pic of it if it would be helpful

Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a pic of the mounting ring. Hope the picture come through.

I think the picture was too large pixel wise. Here is a resized version.

Unscrew the nut shown on the attached picture. It should be two more around.

Thanks Gene. Do you know what the lever with the red cap if for?

Looks like a handle.
