Drain assembly with no nut underneath?
Hi, my drain assembly corroded and started leaking. I’ve removed the p trap but there’s no nut holding the drain assembly on underneath the sink. Can’t see a way to remove it at all. Anyone know how to remove this thing?

It may have been glued on if there's no nut. Usually any basin or bath waste would have a nut underneath
If your corroded drain assembly has no nut underneath, it's likely stuck due to rust/calcium buildup, meaning you'll need pliers (channel locks), penetrating oil, or possibly a hacksaw to cut it off, as it's often fused to the sink tailpiece; first remove the stopper linkage, then grip and twist the large locknut (or basket strainer body) from below, using vinegar to loosen mineral deposits if needed.
