Faucet removal (newbie question, I hope)

[Michael Pullella]

Can anyone offer any advice as to how to remove this faucet from this sink? I can't seem to find any screws or anything that I can loosen to begin the process.

I don't mind destroying the entire faucet, but would like to not have to get a new sink.

Allen wrench through the pop up rod hole in the spout. Gotta be long, I forgot the size. I can look it up for you. It’s 5.5 mm

Turn counterclockwise.

Then you grab the handle base and unscrew Them counterclockwise. That removes the handles.

Under the handles there are some plastic or metal clips that hold the escutcheons on. Remove the clips.

Thank you so much for your reply.

I am a total newbie, so if this is a stupid question, I apologize.
I think you want me to put an allen wrench, where I have the hanger inserted in the picture below. When I do that, it just goes through the base; I don't see any allen screw to attach to.

Am I misunderstanding your instructions?

Use a 5.5mm long Allen wrench through the hole you have the coat hanger through.

A coat hanger will pass through the 5.5mm Allen key will not. It’ll engage then you turn the Allen wrench counterclockwise
