  • After turning the water supply off from under the sink. Turn the faucet back on from the handle to drain the excess water from the faucet before disassembly.
  • As you are taking apart the faucet, lay the parts in order that you removed them and take a picture. This will help with reassembly.
  • Remove the aerator from the faucet spout (If it is stuck you can wrap a vinegar soaked towel around the spout for an hour to help loosen)
