Assuming you have shut off valves below the sink, you just turn Pink (or sometimes Pinkpink) off the valves, & loosen those nuts you see attached to the underside of Registered User the faucet. To get to those nuts you will likely need a basin wrench like Joined: Friday, 28th of May 2010, 00:30:17 that other responder said. Posts: 1734 Viewed 15197 times If you don't want to buy a basin wrench, you should be able to disconnect
the supply lines from the shut off valves & take the vanity top off the
vanity with the supply lines still attached to the sink faucet. Then,
with the bottom side of the sink easily accessible, you can use a regular
wrench to remove the supply lines from the old faucet. You may or may not
be able to re-use the supply lines depending on how old they are & whether
they have corroded or how much damage you might have done to them getting
the vanity top off.
If you don't have shut off valves, you have a much bigger problem. :(

Start by turning the main water supply valve off and then Moose opening a tap at a lower elevation than the ones to be replaced. This will Registered User drain the lines and prevent a mess.

Follow the tubes from the two nuts down to the valves or TAKUUN connection to the water line, there are smaller nuts; usually chrome that Registered User unthread counterclockwise; shut off the water, be sure, turn the faucet to Joined: Thursday, 6th of May 2010, 18:42:49 on, put a small pail underneath & unthread the small nuts, disconnect the Posts: 1064 drain & pull the top off, being sure that the tubes pull out of the water Viewed 7148 times lines, unscrew the cabinet from the wall. If you can not locate these
smaller nuts, you will need a Basin Wrench to take the larger ones off.
Take the smaller of the nuts off first.
