I am a DIY and have replaced a lot of faucets. Trying to remove a 2 handle faucet and the structure underneath is like none I’ve seen. I can’t pull the handles through because they are connected underneath. Please help!!

Thats a Moen. Use a 7/32” Allen wrench in the lift rod hole of the spout from the top and turn counterclockwise. This will remove the spout.

The handles also screw off from the top. Grab the handle canopy and turn it counterclockwise. They’ll unscrew.

There are a couple c-clips that help hold the faucet on the sink, on the hot and cold valves on the top side of the sink. Remove these with a screwdriver by prying them off.

Got it. Thank you. Worked perfect. Had to remove the c clamp. It was really rusted in there. Thanks again
