The simple answer is take out your old one and put in a new one.  But in order 
to tell you how to get the old one out we would need to know a bit more to work 
with.  

Most have amounting collar that you loosen 3 screws up around the top so the 
old unit can twist out. It will be connected to the threaded part where the old 
basket would go before a disposal went in.  It will often look like a triangle. 
  

You'll have to take the drain lines off of the unit at the least.  Would be 
better to take the cross drain line down completely so you don't end up 
fighting with it.  After that you will need to play with some things to see 
what else it takes to get the old one out.  Like a line from the dishwasher if 
there is one and I'm not sure what all else.

Remember there is an electrical line running to it and you want to be real 
careful with that.  You're playing in water and that doesn't play with with 
electricity.
