Galley faucet replacement

Anyone have any experience changing one. I look at it from underneath, hard to do and it looks like it will take some maneuvering to get at it. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Have you ever replaced a faucet in the sink at home?

It isn't very different as unless it's a hand pump type one you will probably find the same thing at your local Home Depot.

They generally either have a large nut that goes over a threaded section or a collar that is held up by screws.

Get right under there with a flashlight and have a look. You should be able to buy the spanner to fit the big nut at a plumbing shop or Home Depot.

Don't forget to turn off the water before you start to loosen off the pipes!

If you want to practice before-hand I would try the following:
Climb into the engine compartment of your car and close the hood. Then try changing the alternator.

You forgot to remind him to warm up the oil in the motor first.

Go to the plumbing supply house and get a basin wrench. Or you can take the sink out and access it that way.
