Step 2 · Disconnect the Old Faucet

This is the step most people slow down on. Take it one move at a time — there’s no rush, and you can rewind the clip as many times as you need.

Using an adjustable wrench (or basin wrench for easier access), carefully disconnect the water supply lines from the old faucet. Then, use the basin wrench to remove the mounting nuts securing the faucet to the sink. Be prepared for some water to escape, even after turning off the valves.
