Step 2 · Remove the Old Faucet Trim

This is the step people usually slow down on. Go finger-tight first, then a quarter turn. No rush — replay the clip whenever it helps.

Carefully remove the old faucet handles and escutcheon plate. You might need a screwdriver (Phillips or flathead) or an Allen wrench, depending on your faucet model. A putty knife may help break any stubborn silicone sealant.
