Subject:      Sink trap blues.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


The sink trap on my '91 Westy started leaking last weekend, so I just turned
the little screw at the bottom and...of course it broke right off.  The
screw was all rusted away, and generally a mess.  The bowel at the bottom of
the trap came right off.


I ordered the parts to replace the trap, but here's my problem---I don't
know how to get the trap assembly off the bottom of the sink!
When I turn the trap assembly under the sink, it just turns, along with the
stainless part in the bottom of the sink.


Any plumbers out there?  How do you get the d**n thing off?


Thanks in advance.
