I am struggling with trying to get a new beveled overflow gasket I purchased. The varied bevel thickness seems correct. The inner diameter of the gasket is the exact same as the diameter of the hole in the tube (see picture) - I assume that is the size it should be. What is giving me trouble are the little posts that are sticking out around the drain (see picture). The drain does not have enough give to push it far enough back to get the gasket over the little plastic posts. In all the online video/pics I do not see a drain that has these posts (as well as the single screw hole in the center). One of the posts is already broken off - is there any reason that I should not snap off the other three? If they were not there I think I would be able to work the gasket in place. I don't see much purpose in those posts other than keeping the gasket from shifting inwards.
The old gasket was really dried out and fragmented so I am not sure if I am even using the right kind of gasket. I have not seen any others that would work, so I assume this beveled gasket is what I should be using.
Any help / advice would be much appreciate.
Thank you.
