## How to Uninstall a Moen Kitchen Sink
### Tools and Materials You’ll Need
* Adjustable wrench
* Basin wrench
* Bucket
* Plumber’s putty
* Utility knife
* Rags
### Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
Before you start uninstalling your Moen kitchen sink, it’s important to turn off the water supply. This will prevent any water from leaking out and causing damage to your kitchen. To turn off the water supply, locate the shut-off valves under your sink and turn them clockwise until they are fully closed.
### Step 2: Disconnect the Water Lines
Once the water supply is turned off, you can disconnect the water lines from the sink. To do this, use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nuts that are holding the water lines in place. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts, as this could damage the water lines.
### Step 3: Remove the Old Sink
Once the water lines are disconnected, you can remove the old sink. To do this, first use a utility knife to cut the plumber’s putty that is holding the sink in place. Then, carefully lift the sink up and out of the countertop. Be careful not to drop the sink, as this could damage it.
### Step 4: Clean the Countertop
Once the old sink is removed, you can clean the countertop. Use a damp rag to wipe away any plumber’s putty or other debris that may be on the countertop.
### Step 5: Apply Plumber’s Putty
Before you install the new sink, you need to apply plumber’s putty to the rim of the sink. Plumber’s putty is a type of sealant that will help to prevent water from leaking out around the sink. To apply plumber’s putty, simply roll it into a rope and then place it around the rim of the sink. Be sure to press the plumber’s putty firmly into place.
### Step 6: Install the New Sink
Once the plumber’s putty is in place, you can install the new sink. To do this, carefully lift the sink up and into the countertop. Be sure to align the sink with the countertop and then press down firmly.
### Step 7: Connect the Water Lines
Once the new sink is in place, you can connect the water lines. To do this, simply screw the nuts onto the water lines and tighten them using an adjustable wrench. Be careful not to overtighten the nuts, as this could damage the water lines.
### Step 8: Turn On the Water Supply
Once the water lines are connected, you can turn on the water supply. To do this, simply turn the shut-off valves counterclockwise until they are fully open.
### Step 9: Check for Leaks
Once the water supply is turned on, check for leaks. To do this, simply turn on the faucet and look for any water leaking out from around the sink. If you find any leaks, tighten the nuts on the water lines until the leaks stop.
### Congratulations! You have now successfully uninstalled your Moen kitchen sink.
