Kitchens – How to remove this kitchen faucet

faucetkitchens

I Googled a lot, checked a lot of YouTube videos but to no avail.

I have a single hole kitchen faucet.

The image shows the bottom part of the faucet. I'm not sure what to unscrew. I thought there would be a nut under the metal C shaped cap. But I could not find any nut or anything I can unscrew. I am trying to replace this one with a new one.

My house is somewhat old (20 years).

Found a similar design at the Delta website. The round knurled piece should unscrew. The male threaded section should also unscrew. Apparently some have a hex shape to facilitate installation. Some have an internal female hex shape that is removed by an allen wrench. This allows the retaining plate to be removed. If there is enough room between the backsplash and the spout you could try holding the piece under the sink with a pipe-wrench, vise grips or large pliers and have someone spin the faucet.
