Just two tools are needed to remove a single-handled faucet.
A single-handle faucet is removed the same way as any other faucet. The faucet is attached to the sink top with nuts that screw onto the faucet stems under the sink. Remove the nuts using a special tool designed for working in the tight space under the sink. Removing a faucet is accomplished with the use of just two tools. The entire task is completed in about half an hour, even by a novice.
Instructions
1. Clear out the space under the sink to give yourself plenty of room. You will need to lie under the sink to do the work.
2. Terminate the supply of water to the faucet by turning the shutoff valves under the sink all the way to the right. If there are no individual shutoffs under the sink, turn off the main water shutoff valve for the house.
3. Remove the ends of the water supply hoses that are attached to the bottoms of the faucet stems. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts until you can remove them by hand.
4. Locate the nuts securing the faucet to the sink top under the sink basin. Use a basin wrench to loosen and remove the nuts completely from the faucet stems.
5. Pull the faucet off of the sink top by hand. The faucet may be stuck to the sink, so you may need to twist and rock it to break it free.
