Not able to remove bathroom faucet and taps

[Olip1605]

We’re replacing the fittings in a house we just purchased and I cannot figure out how this one comes apart. All the others have been straight forward.
There is a horizontal bar between the tap inlets under the sink and can see no way of removing this which I assume needs to go before I can take out the taps.

Thank you

put the proper sized hex Allen wrench down the "rod hole" and rotate it counter clockwise.

I can’t seem to find where that would be. Would I go in from the bottom? Every hole I’ve tried to get in seems to not have anything that would turn.

Hopefully this video will help, not your exact faucet.

Thanks for the video and advice so far. I seem to be missing something horribly simple. When I put a hex key in one size doesn’t even get in the hole and the next size down just moves freely.

What size are those two wrenches?

it may be metric.
