Grohe Faucet Removal

[John Evans]

Hi ... Just bought this new house and looking to remove a low flowing worn out Grohe kitchen faucet

The faucet body is held down to the counter with a U shaped clip , I don't see a nut that locks against the clip holding it up , It seems to be threaded on and It doesn't look like it could be unthreaded because of the supply line that are inside the clip . How do I remove this ?

I have searched online and I have seen a wheel shaped install tool for Grohe faucets , Do you need this tool for removal ?

Thanks for any help

I don't know the clip, but I zoomed into your photo.

You seldom have to remove the faucet to replace the hose. You "unclip" it from the red "thing" and pull the hose out.

I'm not looking to replace the hose I am trying to remove the faucet completely and replace

I think I found the solution from another post on here that you remove the curved spout and that leaves the mounting shank exposed which allows you to use a wrench to tighten or loosen the faucet body .... Is this correct ?

Yes, the spout pulls off and that exposes the top nut that you unthread with a wrench or with pliers.

The top bend pulls up and off.
