thanks! i managed to do it all with just the hacksaw.

[omari]

And the hacksaw is for whomever decides to intrude while you’re fixing the sink?

[joshkashi]

Was going to ask what the hacksaw for but the top comment made that clear. Thank you and thanks to the hacksaw the installation went smoothly

Put the supply lines on the faucet first, then feed the lines down the holes where the faucet sits.. it’s much easier to make a tight connection that way.

Very well done. My father was a plumber by trade for more than 24 years, and ran his own business providing expert plumbing, electrical, and appliance repair. He was truly a "Jack of all trades" and was also adept at house remodeling, cement and tile work, and automotive repair. I learned a great deal from him growing up and have a wide breadth of skills, although certainly not at his level.

That being said, I need to replace the faucets in a "fixer-upper" home we recently purchased that was built in the early 1990's. My memory is that it was an easy job to do, so thank you for providing this video so I could refresh my memory on the process. Of course, so many of the videos shown on these kind of repairs show fixtures in perfect repair, and essentially brand new, with ideal fittings and easily accessible connections. Whereas, the reality of 30 year old faucets used and abused by kids and adults are outdated components, cheap workmanship, poorly implemented installations, hard to reach shut-off valves and heavy corrosion build up from years of hard water build-up. Ugh.

I've gone ahead and subscribed to your channel. I liked the approach you took, using a real-world example of an actual project you worked on. Thank you!

Replaced both the faucet and drain assembly. It was hard- really hard, but that was mainly because of the challenge due to extremely tight space under our bathroom sink! If there were no wall in the way like in the video, then no problem! The most difficult part was reinstalling the water supply and getting the connection tight enough so it didn't leak. This video left out the parts about muttering, cursing, sweating and scraped knuckles! I had to watch a different video for the drain assembly installation and follow the faucet kit directions for that.

I watched several videos but this one was concise and detailed, thank you.

[allaputt]

Thank you for this great video. I replaced my old faucet with a nicer new one. Did it myself by watching this video. The only thing I added was plumbers tape.

Thanks. Going to try to install faucet this weekend. Adding another project to my handywoman tasks.

That wrench for the top part is the key here.

[hyggu]

Very clear and precise information. Thank you.

She didn't show the part where you have to lay down on the floor and work in an odd position.

[yaredmengesha]

My first day to replace faucet. Thsnk, you much. It did help me.

[alwayslevitated]

I saw a saw at the beginning of video that had me intimidated...!! 😱
Didn't see saw in video so now I'm more ambitious..!! 👨🏾‍🔧
Good 💩..!! Thanx..!! 👩🏻‍🔧👌🏾

[bombgroove]

Thanks. Great video. I used the hacksaw to remove my caulk afterwards.

[kathiejl]

I love how easy this looks. I’ll report back when I finish the job. 😊

[dvdfrnzwbr]

The instructions say to put plumbers putty under the gasket. Nobody shows how to do this.

[ceciunni]

This did it for me, thank you for the video!

[jenniferbarrera]

This was the easiest and most detailed video I've seen on how to replace a Faucet. Is there a way to tight the bolts with a different wrench? Unfortunately I can't seem to tighten the v-things enough to keep the Faucet from moving. I tightened them enough to the point to where it only moves a little as the Sink bowl gets in way. But thx for posting this video

[Clyde-lbfe]

Thanks, u make it too easy. Any help on how to get around the sink wall would be nice.
