Start with the Basics-Tips:

  • After the water has been shut-off underneath the sink, twist handle to the “on” position to release additional water from the faucet and back to the “off” position before replacing handle.
  • As you are taking apart the handle, lay the parts in the order that you removed then and take a picture. This will help with reassembly.
  • Place a strainer, stopper or paper towel at the bottom of the sink to clog the drain and prevent nuts and bolts from going down the drain.
