Faucet Removal

The DW wants a new faucet in the kitchen...don't ask me why, the one in there works fine. Anyway, I cannot get a tool on it (from the bottom) to loosen it in order to remove it.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

How about a basin wrench?

I agree with jsmitfl, a basin wrench is what you need. Some hardware stores will loan or rent them, it is something you will probably never need again.

I was able to get mine off with a screw driver and a hammer, but I agree the basin wrench is the way to go. I may have been lucky. There is NOT a lot of room to work up in there...

Thanks guys, but I have a basin wrench...there is not enough room for the head to fit between the side of the sink and the shank of the faucet. I'll try the screw driver and hammer next time.

I must have one really odd Montana based on these recent posts with difficulties on faucet swaps. It required some major twisting and turning, using a lot of pillows so I could lay on my back and look up, but my faucet swap took a total of about 20-30 minutes when I did it last November. Removal from the counter top was done with a plain old channel lock set of pliers. Now granted, they had to get a bite on the fastening nut in an orientation that was parallel to the counter-top (3400) and I could only get about an eighth of a turn at a time, but after a couple of rotations, it came off by hand. Installation of the new faucet was merely a reverse procedure from the above. Hope this helps.
