The first thing you need to do is plump a new sink. If you haven't done so already, try to pick a sink that compliments your countertop and most importantly fits intimately to the same dimensions as the old sink. Don't forget to think replacing your faucet as well. After all what good is a new sink with a crusty old faucet.
Once you have your new kitchen sink, it's time to take off the old sink.
First turn off the water provide to both the hot and cold lines. Then turn both the hot and cold knobs to relax any line pressure.
Next, disconnect the lines considered using the standard wrenches. Disconnect the drain pipe as well. Also take off any accessories, garbage disposals, dishwasher line, etc.
Check under your sink for any brackets that may be keeping it in place. Some sinks have em some don't. If there are brackets go ahead and take off them now.
Using the hammer, gradually tap the putty knife under the edge of the sink to help work it free from the countertop. Once the sink is free from the waterproof sealant that holds it to the countertop you can take off it.
Scrape any remaining sealant from the countertop using your putty knife. Try not to damage the exterior area.
Check to be sure your new kitchen sink is going to fit properly by gradually placing into the cut-out. take off it. If it Seems a puny too large and your countertop is formica, you can trim the cut-out with a jig saw. Apply masking tape across the areas you will be cutting. This will keep the jig saw from scarring the exterior and help forestall cracking the formica laminate.
Apply new waterproof sealant such as clear silicone around the cut-out and set your new sink in place.
Attach any retainer clips (if any) that your sink may have been packaged with.
Install your new faucet on the sink following the directions that came with it then install your drains,garbage disposal, drain and water lines by reversing the discharge directions.
Turn your water provide back on and check for leaks.
Congratulations! You have a brand new kitchen sink.
