Step 2 · Disconnect the Old Faucet

This is the step people usually slow down on. Go finger-tight first, then a quarter turn. No rush — replay the clip whenever it helps.

Using an adjustable wrench, carefully disconnect the water supply lines from the old faucet. Employ a basin wrench to remove the mounting nuts securing the faucet to the sink. Be prepared for some water spillage, even after turning off the valves. A rag or towel can help contain any leaks.
