See how the black gasket is a bit twisted - you need a metal washer in between the gasket and the threaded nut in order to prevent the gasket from twisting so it doesn’t result in a leak.

The washer comes with a cardboard gasket so it doesn't twist with you.

...as long as its not overtightened, it shouldn't twist up. There should be a cardboard gasket in there though (for THAT reason)

or possibly put some grease on the bottom of the washer or top of the nut. Only a tiny bit since we obviously don't want it anywhere else (aside from the threads too I suppose).

you can also cut a board 18 or so inches and shove down in your pliers and it'll lock out against the sink

Do you need to let the putty set after installation and before using the sink? If so, for how long?

I saw a chain. It was intimidating but during the process it wasn't used. I almost didn't continue watching but I need my sink back!

Why no paper friction washer? This is why your rubber washer is being distorted as it is being tightened

@@MAC-ss6ki yeah this post is from two years ago - since the pandemic the drain baskets have changed and since been approved for plumbers internationally. Back then they were only one size. Biden is currently about to ban any sink drain that connects to a dishwasher. Careful what you buy.

Those nuts are made of soft aluminum...... specifically so they can be cut off. Just use a sharp chisel, give it a few Taps, and you will see how easily it cuts right through it
