Malcolm,

You have it the small tab is the "screw" that holds the bottom of the sink
trap on.  You just unscrew it and the bottom half of the trap comes off.

Good Luck,

John

Subject: Westy Sink Drain Question

I've checked the archives but I could not find any discussion of the
sink.  If I missed it, could you please point me to the discussion.

I am trying to clean out the sink trap (immediately below, and
attached to the sink) and I don't know how to take the plastic
mechanism apart.  Does it come apart? and how?

Also there is a small metal 'tab' at the base of the trap,  what is
this?  Does it come out, unscrew?

Thanks.   Malcolm
