Moen Circa 2008 Kitchen Faucet Removal

Instructions on how to remove a circa 2008 model Moen single handle kitchen faucet from the sink.

Was frustrated and ready to call a plumber, even already having the replacement faucet on hand. But your video saved me by solving the mystery of how to release the old faucet from the sink - it's one nut that can be removed with a deep socket! Outstanding clarity + solution - you win the prize for helping this handyman maintain his self esteem. Thank you!!

This is the only video that gave me exactly what I needed for a pre 2009 Moen single handle faucet. Thank you! Ours was starting to leak from the center mount so it was definitely time to upgrade

You saved my mental health and gained a Wolfpack fan.

Thanks, you’re the only one showing the system I had too. You’re the best!!! 😊

I just realized after watching your video that the Moen faucet that I installed several years ago came with the exact same plastic attachment… I completely forgot about this piece! Was having trouble removing the old faucet to replace it until I saw your video and managed to find the same piece in my toolbox. Thank you so much… You save me an untold amount of hours and probably expense trying to figure out how to get that thing off!

Thanks.  This solved the mystery of how to get the faucet off the sink.  You said in the beginning you just 'disconnected the spray wand hose'.  I spent 4 hours trying to unthread the spray wand hose nut.  It is a 12 sided nut on mine (an older model I think) and no metric or English deep throat socket would grab it.  ( I had to cut the spray wand hose to try this.)  I was able to loosen the bolt holding the whole thing together (the main thrust of this video). It was already loose to be honest from years of usage.  I was able to get it loose enough to unthread it to the wand hose nut, pull the faucet up off the sink top as much as I could (about 1.5 inches) and cut the whole thing free with a Sawzall.  When it was all free I took the piece with the wand nut to the hardware store and tried every English and metric deep throat socket I could find and none of them grabbed it  None.  Pliers probably put it on and pliers are needed to take it off.  An impossible task when mounted to the sink with no room to work.  Just a warning to anyone trying this at home.  Thanks for the video.  IT was helpful.

Thanks, I couldn’t for the life of figure out how to get the faucet out but when you said a deep socket of the the hardware store and got what I needed.

2006 moen kitchen faucet replacement. Thanks for showing me how to remove old one. Was ready to pay a plummer. Now I can do it myself.

God bless you sir! I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to uninstall this faucet. I searched video after video before finding yours. 5 minutes later, I had my faucet uninstalled. Thank you.

Thank you for this incredibly helpful video! I had no idea what generation of faucet I had or how to dismantle it, and your walkthrough was a lifesaver. Old faucet removed, new faucet installed!

Thanks for keeping me from ripping my whole sink out in a fit of rage. :-)

Live saver! Thanks for this video. Still relevant 3 years later!

[siddaviscomedy]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you for not using 5 minutes for telling me WHY I am fixing my sink .

[interestedviewer]

I cannot thank you enough for posting this video. I was stuck at the exact same spot trying to remove the faucet. I never realized the hose nut was essentially acting like a locking nut on the one behind it. Save my day!

Your video helped me so much in replacing my Circa 2007 Moen. Thanks

[premrajendran]

I stared at the underside for an hour trying to see how to get the old faucet off. The horse collar looks like a compression fit but that didn’t make sense. Thank you for providing this invaluable insight!

[MrMarnier]

Lifesaver man. None of the other videos made sense looking up at that god-awful corroded mess I had under there.

Got it out now.

[susankelley]

THANK YOU MUCH!!! It really blew my mind how difficult it was to figure out how to remove the old Moen faucet.

I know this is an old video, but I was bent on changing out a kitchen faucet without the help of my husband. And this video helped!!! I appreciate it! I added some spray lubricant to assist and that worked great. Lots of old hard water buildup.
