Thanks, man. I was really kicking myself over this. I'm definitely not telling my brother.

Haha, I rewatched it this morning and said the same thing. It's even more frustrating to know and not be able to tell yourself in the past than it is to be the confused person in the moment, I think.

I'm recording everything before disassembly in the future.

Yeah, mine is flat, not beveled. I guess I just meant that the arrangement of components in that picture reminded me of my solution - my gasket/washer is shaped differently, though, you're right.

That's why I didn't even think to slide it over the neck. Even when I tried it I was worried it would tear. But, the material is pretty strong (I had to remove and attach it a couple of times because of wrong order of events) and it really snugs in tight. So, even though it's flat and thin I think it's the ticket.

Oh yeah. That's definitely the same piece.

Man, I wish I had experience. I could have saved myself a couple of hours and a lot of cursing. Also, I found a picture of what I did. I think it's legit: https://images.app.goo.gl/peq6BDiYcHQEXa6f8 .

What makes you think the green one goes at the top?

I was only 90% sure until you said that. Now I'm 91% sure.

I think I solved it. The trick was to slide one of the gaskets (the white one) over the neck of the tube. The green gasket goes between the top of the tube and the base of the pipe coming out of the base of the sink. The white gasket forms a pressure fit between the female-threaded collar and the male threaded catch.

It's all assembled and everything's tight. I ran the sink for 20 minutes just to be sure. It took me two hours of trying every combination of attachments but I think it's solved.

If it's easy for you (don't waste your time on it): Is it even possible to tell if I'm missing any pieces? If I have them all then I'll keep banging my head against a wall.

I can grab a new one. But, how can I put this one back together?
