Step 1 · Prepare Workspace and Shut Off Water
Begin by completely clearing out the cabinet underneath the kitchen sink to create a clean and accessible workspace. Place a bucket directly under the faucet's plumbing connections to catch any residual water. Lay down several old towels to absorb any spills. Locate the two water shutoff valves on the wall or floor of the cabinet—one for hot water and one for cold. Turn the handles clockwise until they are fully closed. Then, go to the sink and turn both faucet handles to the 'on' position to release any remaining water and pressure in the lines. A headlamp is highly recommended to illuminate the dark, cramped workspace.
