Changing sink pop up waste

Does anyone know how to fit this type of waste on a sink? My existing one is of the same style but it's not obvious as to how it removes as there's no nut under the sink which holds the trap in?

Not sure if this is the exact one I need but it looks very similar.

It looks like the two halves screw together.

I managed to remove it, however there is a lot of silicone left on where the surfaces mate together, I've scraped away most of it but need to remove the residue, is the no no nonsense silicone remover from Screwfix the right thing to buy?

Yes that works very well.

Ok I'll grab some of that, should I grab a tub of plumbers mate to bed the waste into and to seal underneath?

Ended up having to replace the trap as well because there wasn't as much thread on the new waste. I guess standards maybe changed in 20 years because the exact same one from the same manufacturer fits fine.
