Kitchen sink removal

[Kurt K]

Hello fellow "Pup'ers", Quick question, 2014 Flagstaff 27HWsc,
Top mounted double stainless sink, Is this glued to the counter or is it glued AND somehow fastened from underneath? Issue: (the leak of the week) Water inlet to faucet is leaking, I want to replace BOTH lines (hot and cold) with new PEX brass couplings, but I cannot access under the sink because the drawers are there and are to small for me to reach under and get to the underside of the faucet. So I want to remove the sink and faucet and repair it from the "top down" Just concerned how the top mounted sink is held in place. Thanks in advance- Great group BTW!!

I believe it's the same as kitchen sinks at home - held in by clamp screws underneath, with an adhesive caulk to prevent leaks.

If you can't reach bottom of sink through drawer slot, how are you going to undo the drain before pulling the sink? I just replaced my kitchen sink on a travel trailer not much bigger than yours. I was able to get my arm in just enough to unscrew the sink mount clamps and unscrew the drain. There was a bit of sealant between sink flange and counter that broke free easily enough, but the job was a swear fest for sure. Here is a pic of my drawer slot, I have already re-arranged drain plumbing. Pic makes slot look bigger than it was. I came very close to tearing out counter/cabinet side panel out of frustration. Since the new sink was double the depth of the crappy OEM sink, getting my arm in there to put the new clamps on was hell. But I did it.
