    Tools Needed to Remove Moen Kitchen Faucet

    Assuming you would like tips on how to take apart a Moen kitchen faucet:

    You will need a few tools in order to remove your Moen kitchen faucet. Firstly, you will need an adjustable wrench. This will be used to loosen the bolts that hold the faucet in place. Secondly, you will need a putty knife. This will help you remove any old plumbers putty that may be sealing the faucet to the sink. Lastly, you may need a pair of pliers. This will come in handy if the adjustable wrench is not able to loosen the bolts.
    With these tools, you should be able to easily remove your Moen kitchen faucet.

    How to Remove the Handle

    If your Moen kitchen faucet is leaking or needs repair, you may need to remove the handle. This can be done easily with a few tools.

    First, turn off the water to the faucet. You will find the shut-off valves under the sink. Once the water is off, open the faucet to relieve any pressure in the lines.
    Next, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the set screw that holds the handle in place. You will find this screw on the underside of the handle. With the set screw removed, you should be able to pull the handle off of the faucet.
    If you need to replace any washers or other parts, they will be located under the metal plate that was covering the set screw. Simply unscrew these parts and replace them as needed before reassembling the faucet.

    1. First, turn off the water supply to the faucet. This is usually done by shutting off the valves under the sink.
