Removal of p-tube help!
Hello,
I am trying to remove the p-tube under my bathroom sink and it does not look like the videos I was using to assist me. There is no clearly spinnable nut like the while one show on the one side. The black side of the pictures if what I am talking about. Am I just nuts? (HA!) anyways any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

That's because you have glued abs or black pvc fittings. You can cut the pipe in your photo at the "M" with a hacksaw. Then glue on a slip joint adapter and use slip joint fittings all the way up to your sink. Would need a photo where it attaches to the sink to be sure.

This type of sink trap assembly should be banned by local codes! There is no reason to glue an appliance that is meant to be serviced. What is wrong with plumbers who do this type of thing?
