ways depending on the brand. To remove, reverse steps in installation

After years of use, you may need to use a penetrating oil spray on the faucet
mounting hardware to help loosen corrosion and assist in removing the faucet

FILTERING FAUCET SYSTEM
Helpful Tools: Phillips screwdriver, two adjustable wrenches
CAUTION: Do not use with portable washing devices, i.e.
dishwashers, washing machines.
NOTE: Do not bend supply tubes until instructed in step 4.
HINTS:
When using flexible supplies, we recommend threaded fittings be installed
onto supply lines before placing faucet through sink holes (see step 6). For
installations on tile countertops, remove rubber gasket from underneath support
plate (31) or deck ring (20) and apply a bead of putty in its place. Roll the putty into
the diameter of a pencil. When applied in the groove, the putty should protrude a
minimum of 1/16".
Side Spray Installation (side spray models only)
1. Locate foam gasket on hose guide (25) by sliding gasket onto shank and tucking
outer edge of gasket under the hose guide (25). Do not drive the center of the
gasket up into the hose guide. Install hose guide (25) through furthest left or
right hole in sink. From under sink, thread extended locknut (27) (either side
up) on shank of hose guide and tighten by hand. Feed spray hose (26) down
through the hose guide (25) (do not connect spray hose to faucet until step 6 ).
