First time removing or installing a garbage disposal. Had to get something out of drain so I removed disposal successfully and got it out. Unfortunately I'm having a lot of trouble reconnecting it.
I can't screw the disposal back on because I can't get it up inside the rubber lining again. I'm wondering if the rubber was supposed to come out with it.
I've attached a few pics. As you can probably tell, I haven't done plumbing before but would like to figure this out. The connecter (with the three rings to tighten or loosen) is completely free-standing so nothing is really binding it to the disposal itself. So even if I twist it back on, I'm not sure it'll actually hold up the disposal.
Do I need to further disassemble the drain in order to reconnect it? And if so, should I reapply plumbers putty, replace gaskets, etc.?
