I saw a post on this site from 2009 and it addressed the fact that the gasket needed to be replaced but there was no mention of how to do it. I was told that I may have to cut the pipe and install a new pipe in order to do this. After trying for a out an hour today to remove the gasket I am starting to see this is a real possibility. Does anyone have a better way to do this? Or could provide a little guidance as to the process? I have included a picture of the top and bottom of the offending drain just in case people aren't familiar with the drain type I am talking about.

Thanks in advance.

I cannot see for sure how that drain is assembled, but it looks to me like someone used black RTV over the compression ring. Since you have access, you might consider replacing the entire drain assembly with a new one.
