Fixed a water supply valve leak. Decided clean the slightly clogged drain as well. Really appreciate the manufacturers that do that much more.

Sink drain tail pipe. That part is were the rod attaches to actuate the stopper.

They took the time to add instructions to the mould, when most manufacturers wouldn't. The most basic DIYer could service it. Even if they don't know how to approach it.
