The plate just slides down down, so even a screwdriver would have pried it loose from the sink. It was not bound by corrosion.

hj, most plumbers have pliers with them, which they can use to pry off the plate.
A homeowner often does't have what i call normal tools.
I can't think of any plumber taking more than a few seconds to pull that plate off.

yes I agree Terry i would have that ring off and installing new one then you can say ouch !

I didn't mention that I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel, which makes this a particular pain in the ass as I will have to replace the sink again whenever I get around to the new counter (undermount).
c'est la vie.
If you were planning to put in a new sink they why not just leave it alone until then?
