I did it!!! It took me about an hour, although it felt much longer. Tears of frustration and a bit of cussing. My hardest parts were getting rhe faucet loose from the sink and getting the old supply lines off the faucet. Vice grips, small slip joint pliers, and some wd40. Go me!!! I'm almost 65, living in an old house trailer. Cold water in the kitchen is the first of many projects. Thank you so much!!

That "go back to the hardware store because you didn't measure" got me right in guts! 🤣

you did a great job explaining this. I am a 64 yo single woman, and I am getting ready to attempt this by myself. Your video is encouraging that I can do this. Fingers crossed and a few prayers 😊

Bro, I was so pissed trying to install this thing. Your chill ass video calmed me down. Thanks!

This was much more simpler than the home depot video. Thank you!

Step 1: start early in the morning. Step 2-9:make frequent visits to the hardware store before they close. step10: go to bed early to continue tomorrow.

This video gave me the guts to feel confident about replacing my broken faucet. I even used the vice grip pliers. It was so rusted I had to remove the entire sink to get the grip and room to actually remove it. But your video is so unbelievably helpful especially reminding to measure the connector lines. Thank you so so very much!

Thank you so much for this video! I didn’t have anyone to call to fix my faucet and local plumbers were booked out so I decided to tackle it myself. I followed your video step by step and did it!! So again, thank you!!

Super helpful! Made it so easy a stay-at-home-mom with no plumbing experience did this in less than an hour with no issues. Thanks!

My friend's mobile home had a 3 hole kitchen faucet. I borrowed a plumbers flip sliding wrench. Didn't have much luck. I had to go home and get my 1⅛" Mac crowsfoot. It'll fit most faucet nuts & toilet supply lines. Perfect fit for the older hex nuts. It'll catch the newer 4 wing plastic nuts. It won't fit the ones under the faucet base. (The top nuts) I had to use pump plyers. My new faucet said to use a silicone or latex based sealant when installing on the new threads. Pipe dope or plumbers putty will ruin the plastic. That's a first. Teflon tape will only work if you can get a super thin layer. It can split the nuts if you put too much. Silicone it is. You need to let it sit a few hours before turning the water on. Check for drips. I was good.

I just replaced our kitchen faucet. I planned on one hour or so. . . well, three hours latter and a trip to the hardware store to buy new lines and I was done. The hardest thing was trying to loosen the old plastic water rings with a plumbers off set wrench. Boy was that hard! Most things take longer than originally planned.
I sure am glad that is done. This was a great video. I wished I would have watched it first. I did the replacement in the order that is shown here. The newer facets have a 6" copper drop down to make the replacement much easier.
I would strongly suggest a plumbers offset wench before you start your project. Good luck. You pretty much need to be a human contortionist to perform this on a older appliance.

This was the best DIY video I have seen to date! Very easy to follow, short and to the point, expressed the importance of “measure twice cut once, ” and somehow managed to get really clean easy to see shots beneath the sink! Wow! Many thanks!

Great Tutorial! This would have been so much easier if the people that installed our original faucet didn't tighten the bolt so tight to the faucet bracket. It took us 3 hours to get that thing unscrewed and we had to go buy a better tool to get it off, but finally came off and of course we ended up having to go buy new hose/lines, because ours were also too short, wish I saw this video before I bought the faucet...LOL..all good now and got my new faucet installed and very pleased. Thanks for an easy video!

Great video! Lovin' your honesty and imperfection since I thought I was the ONLY person who had to go back to the hardware store more than twice!
Thank you for this most helpful upload!
