get a new one, I have found if you are not dropping a good deal of money on one the unit will be made of crap that just rots out. So even if you get it to work the pot metal is probably more than half gone in 8 years. The good thing is the new one will probably use the same lock ring you have in place already, hopefully it is still solid as I have seen those rot out too

women have trouble understanding Trump's MAGA theme because they had so little involvement in making America great the first time around.

Get a new one & be done with it. They are not worth rebuilding. That's why you don't see rebuild kits for them.

Just get rid of it. IMO they are waste of money and hog space under the cabinet better used for storage. If you have a septic system it counts as another person in the house, too. How hard is it to dump the strainer into the waste bucket? People (read my wife) put all kinds of things down a disposal that they shouldn't. No disposal? Can't do it. (Didn't take long for her to adapt.)

Really amazing how often those three words are found together. IMO make it gone.

I guess my real question is, can it be possible that something would be stuck beyond the inside grinder? I've never paid that much attention to how they work, and if something solid could get past the grinder.
