hey guys, im replacing a kitchen faucet for my mom right now, and Its not one of the ones where it scres in on the two side panels, it has a long threaded neck that attatches to the sink basin, how would I take this out, I tried spinning the faucet to just unscrew the threading but it pivots...
Wow, Zwalk, I'm afraid you're going to have to do a little bit better job of describing the old faucet. If you can lay your hands on a digital camera so you can upload a couple of pic's, that would be even better. Changed a lot of faucets in my day, and I'm having a tough time coming up with a mental image of a faucet with a long threaded neck that attaches to the sink basin.
Faucets that I'm familiar with sit on top of the sink and are bolted down below the sink. You have to loosen nuts under the sink from the threaded water supply lines on the bottom of the faucet unit, then lift the entire unit out from the sink. That leaves holes in the sink. Threaded water supply lines on the bottom of the faucet fit through those holes and water lines from your house's water supply are attached to those. But the handles, neck, the whole shooting match is one unit.
