Other Tips
After turning the water supply off from under the sink. Turn the faucet back on from the handle to drain the excess water from the faucet before disassembly.
As you are taking apart the faucet, lay the parts in order that you removed them and take a picture. This will help with reassembly.
Remove the aerator from the faucet spout (If is stuck you can wrap a vinegar soaked towel around the spout for an hour to help loosen).
