I've read step by step tutorials I found on google, but I'm stuck at only the first few steps! After turning the water off I was going to disconnect the supply lines as well as the nut that holds the current faucet onto the sink, but it seems as if it's in the counter. I don't know if that's clear enough, but the lines run into the counter it looks like, I was wondering if there was anyway I can reach this without going to extraordinary lengths like taking the countger top off
is it possible to remove just the sink from the counter top? if so, you can simply remove the drain connection, score the caulking around the sink and then GENTLY lift the since out. then you'll have an opening to get to the connection under the counter.
I think that U are describing that U cannot reach or even see the nut. there is a special wrench made called a plumbers wrench. It is a steel post about ten inches long. The top of the post has a set of horizontal jaws like those on a pipe wrench. The bottom of the post has a long rod that provides leverage so that U can turn the wrench from below. To turn the wrench in the other direction the jaws can be flipped over. Now U know why plumbers earn the big bucks ~~~~~~~ I try to not turn the water valves off in the bathroom. The valve often starts to leak and can be very difficult to change. Turning off the water from outside of the house leads to many other compllications though.
