    1. Have a plumber disconnect the plumbing and remove the clips (figure A) that hold the sink in place.

    2. Loosen the rim (figure B) and the old sink and faucet should lift right out.

    3. If you are installing a cast iron sink, it is heavy so be careful! Just set the sink in place (figure C).

    4. Run a bead of silicone around the sink to seal it in place. Have a plumber hook everything back in place.

    5. Today you have a larger choice of vivid colors when it comes to appliances, (figure D) so that you can create a kitchen reflecting your tastes and personality.
