Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the nuts connecting the water supply lines to the faucet. Be sure to place the bucket underneath to catch any water that may leak out. Once the nuts are loosened, remove the water supply lines from the faucet.

Locate the mounting nuts that secure the faucet to the sink. Use a wrench or pliers to loosen and remove these nuts. Once the mounting nuts are removed, you can gently lift the faucet out of the sink.
