Experience and Good Comments
I have done the replacement myself today for the two faucet in a bathroom in my house. It took some time initially and figured out how to do the replacement correctly. I am glad I made it!
Here are the procedures for your reference.
1. You need to know type of faucet for the replace. I started with browsing the catalog of Home Depot web site and found I need to get a new faucet and the model is Delta 25984LF. Please see the pictures for the mode details.
2. Prepare the proper tools for the replacement. This is the most important steps. Without right tool, you will be very frustrated when you attempt to replace the faucet.
3. I found the most useful to complete the replace is the tool called "Groove join pliers". Without it, it will very hard to loosen drain connectors.
4. Make sure you turn off water supply for both hot and cold water
5. Loosen two locknuts under the faucet that needs to be replaced.
6. Remove locknuts and detach water supplies.
7. Remove pop-up assembly.
8. You should be able to pull out old faucet.
9. Then remove stopper once pop-up assembly is removed.
10. It will be a bit tricky to take out flange screw nut.
12. Now use groove join pliers to loosen drain connectors under the sink.
13. Push up rod under the sink. Use groove join pliers to lock the rod under the sink and use a lock plier to loosen flange screw nut. Once you are able to remove flange screw nut. You are done to remove everything for the old faucet.
14. Apply silicon at the bottom of faucet gasket. Use locknuts to lock new faucet.
15. Insert lift rod through faucet and into strap. Apply silicon to underside of flange.
16. Connect pop-up assembly with rod.
17. Use groove join pliers to tighten drain connector.
18. Connect water supplies.
19. Adjust pop-up
That's it! You can do it yourself.
Good luck and have fun!
