Hi friendly plumbing crew! I have this kitchen faucet I want to replace, but I ran into some trouble trying to just remove it.
I have a feeling that I need to unscrew what looks like a hexagonal retaining ring/nut on the underside of the sink where all the pipes come through. But it seems like it doesn't move or is very tight at least. It's also almost 2in across -- really huge for the basin wrench jaws. Or maybe I need a bigger one? And the space is really tight to get it in there. All the newer faucets have a better ring now that seems easier to install than this.
I just want to check that there isn't something on the top side that I need to disassemble to get this thing out first? (like through the tap handle or something?)
Thanks!
