I am VERY green too DIY work but I am trying to learn 🙂
I am trying to install new sink faucets and I am stuck on removing my old handles. The image below is from under the sink.
I cant reach the nuts that attach the handles to the sink and the little pipe sticking out the side of these make it so I cannot use the EZ Change Faucet tool. Not to mention these are too big to fit in there anyway.
I am hoping for some suggestion on how to get these off!

edit: i have a basin wrench but it does not fit around the nut because the sink and the wood frame are too close to the nut. is my only option breaking it?

If the space is too tight to get a basin wrench in then it's possible that the plumber installed the faucet onto the basin before the bowl was put into place. After all, it's much easier to work on top of the cabinet than it is to work underneath.
You may want to look into removing the counter top from the cabinet, or the basin from the counter top to get at removing this.
