Look at the back of the drain pipe directly below the sink. There is something that resembles an oversize nut that can be turned; turn it like a nut to loosen it. As soon at it is completely separated from the threads, hold on to the nut and the rod that goes right through the nut. Using one hand to hold onto the nut and rod at the same time, push the rod into the drain and rotate it downward a little. Drop the new drain plug into drain with the tab (with a hole in it on the bottom) facing away from you with the other hand. Now comes the slightly tricky part. Use hand to hold onto the nut and rod and use the other hand to hold onto the new drain plug in the correct orientation. Back off the rod away from the drain a little bit and drop the drain plug a little to align the hole (on the tab) with the rod. Now move the rod back into the drain and ensure that you've inserted the rod onto the new drain plug by rotating the rod up and down. Once everything's in place, tighten the nut back. The nut should be tight, but not too tight or the drain with be hard to open/close. Hand tighten it only, don't use a wrench. A common mistake is to not have the nut aligned properly when you start tightening it, just be sensible about it. An experienced person can do the whole job in under 2 minutes.
