Grohe, Request help removing old kitchen sink faucet

[Frank N]

Hi All,

I would like your advise on how to remove the bottom piece of a kitchen sink I want to replace. There is a horseshoe looking piece that looks like it's screws into the pipe. There are 3 pips (hot, cold, and removable faucet) that is blocking the horseshoe piece from fully turning either direction to get the horseshoe out. The horseshoe piece seems really tight onto the rod. There was not nut attached to the metal rod. Any suggestion?

You pull the spout off and unscrew the faucet from the top.

Hi, I have pulled the spout off. The horseshoe piece seem to be the one clamping the top sink piece and bottom together. With the spout off, it's just a extension of the metal rod. I removed the handle and cover.

It's best to cut away any wood that the securing clamp would rest on . Wood compresses and continual retightening is needed otherwise.

I just saw the video. I will try that tonite. Thanks.

Hi, sorry for popping up this old thread. I have a leak from the hot water line coming into this same Grohe ladylux faucet. What's the correct procedure of replacing that line? Will i need to disassemble the inner faucet mixer for that? Thanks
