Before you install your new faucet here are some basic steps in removing the old faucet:
Shut off the water; either by turning off the main water valve, or turning off the two valves immediately under the faucet you’re replacing, then you need to open the old faucet and allow it to drain and release any pressure. If you choose not to replace the lines, you will only need to disconnect them from the faucet only, but If you choose to replace them, disconnect the lines from the shut-off valve, then remove the old faucet from the sink.
