Remove Existing Fixture
The first thing to do is to turn off the water to the sink. Make sure that
you turn off both the hot and cold water. Before you remove the water supply
lines it is a good idea to put a pan underneath the water outlets. Take a pair
of pliers or an adjustable wrench and remove the water supply lines from the
valves at the wall.
The next step is to remove the existing trap. Use an adjustable wrench or
pliers to loosen and remove the nut from the trap. If the nut is very tight,
you should use a pipe wrench. If you are planning to reuse the nut, you might
want to put a rag around it before putting a wrench on it.
Lift it off!
After all of the pipes are disconnected, check underneath the sides of the
sink for screws. Don't remove the screws from the wall bracket yet! The screws
on the sides help to stabilize the sink and are generally on the sides.
When you have removed the screws (if there are any), lift the sink straight
up and away from the wall.
