Okay, I drilled out the six screws and I can raise the black ring, but it appears a section of pipe also extends into the tank. I can lift the ring with the attached vertical section of pipe a couple of inches, but I feel resistance. Not wanting to break anything, what am I missing???

The flange is screwed to the black tank. You have to spin it off to separate them.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Here's what I made up to unscrew the flange. Mine was stuck pretty tight.
