What happens here

The video reveals that the cabinet structure underneath the sink is obstructing the new faucet's ability to sit flush and seal properly. To remedy this, use a multi-tool (specifically a Fein MultiMaster with a fine blade) to cut away a small section of the cabinet's wood framing directly adjacent to the faucet hole. This creates the necessary flat surface for the new faucet's mounting plate. Test the fit of the faucet and cut more if required.

Goal: Create a flat and unobstructed mounting surface for the new faucet.

Now we just pull this out. Looks like it's been leaking for a little bit down in there. That cleaned up a little bit. This faucet is not going to seal if it's not on a flat surface. I grabbed the fine multi-mask here. I guess we'll see if we have to cut more. Yeah, that's going to work out. Make sure O-ring is in the bottom of this before you put it in place.
