Tools Required Lavatory Wrench Surface Cleaner Putty
Step 1: Turn off the water
Turn off the water to the faucet you’re going to replace. You can do this by using the shut off valves under the sink, or the main shutoff to the water for the entire house.
Step 2: Disconnect supply lines
Disconnect supply lines from shutoff valves or piping by using the correct size wrench.
Step 3: Remove everything from the faucet
Using a lavatory wrench, remove the supply lines from the faucet. Also using the lavatory wrench, remove the holding nuts from the faucet. If it has a sprayer, remove the spray head from the hose and remove the clip from the end of the hose along with the washers and nut. You will need to shove the hose down through the hole that it’s sticking up through. Remove holding nut for the “sprayer holder.”
Step 4: Remove the Faucet
Once the holder for the sprayer head and faucet are removed, clean mounting surface with cleaner. You may need to use a type of scale remover to make sealing surface clean.
