Very nice work, I especially liked the dust control. My only suggestion would be to install the faucet on the new sink before you drop it in. That way you don't have to deal with getting under the sink later and struggling with a basin wrench.

Dan, Thank you so much for posting this helpful and really clear video. My setup was essentially identical to yours, so my wife and I were very happy when we found your video. Our enamel sink was 40 years old and in bad shape but we didn't want to get a new kitchen. We used the same Kraus sink that you did and are really pleased with the result. I can pass on a few lessons learned that might be helpful to someone else doing this. FIRST, I found that using a couple of bottle jacks to help free the old sink from its bed of mortar worked well. It was really stuck but popped free immediately with just a little pressure from the jacks below. SECOND, my tile was on a rather thick bed of mortar, for a total depth of about 2 inches or more, so the supplied bolts were too short. I didn't want to remove a lot of wood, so I bought a kit of the Elkay LK463 bolts. They are expensive but worked. They have a very small head which spins in the Kraus channel, but the hex nuts which they come with are a perfect fit. So I fixed the heads by adding a short plastic spacer to cover the missing threads and then a hex nut which I fastened tightly. I also added some loctite for added security. The kit comes with enough hex nuts to do this, and this worked perfectly. To secure them from below I used a long sleeve 3/8 inch socket. In the final installation, it took just a couple of minutes to fasten the 10 long bolts that I used. I also had a very close side wall on one side of the sink as in the video, and I cut slots like as shown in the video and used two of the supplied Kraus bolts there. I used a router to cut these slots. These two bolts were a big challenge to fasten because of very narrow access space (about 1/2 inch wide and maybe 8 inches deep). The hard part was rotating them 90 degrees after inserting the sink. I eventually got it with the help of a very long screw driver and a long metal ruler. I would recommend cutting these slots with plenty of room to rotate the brackets freely. THIRD, I should have covered the open water lines better, and flushed them out before installing the faucet. I kept my old HansGrohe faucet because it was still working well. When I turned it on there was hardly any flow. I found that it had a small filter at the end which was full of grit from grinding the tile. Everything worked fine after I cleaned out the filter. FINALLY, for someone like me not too familiar with this type of work, I recommend taking your time and carefully thinking through all of the steps. I found it helpful to make practice cuts in tile to get used to controlling the grinder. For the final installation we placed some 2x4's with eyelets in the ends to hold the sink rim just above the caulk so that we could make a final check on clip locations. My wife and I practiced an installation before applying caulk. I used a suction cup to hold and control my end of the sink while lowering it into place, and that worked well. We love the new sink. Thanks again Dan!

I finally decided to do the same thing after watching your video like 11 times. I made the mistake of cutting the opening just a bit too tight and my old sink was installed on a slight diagonal so it didn't come out easily. Had to lift it out from above with a chain, a car jack, and a piece of 2x4. Ended up popping a few tiles. On the bright side now I learned how to fix tiles, lol. Turned out great. Also, setting up a window fan blowing outwards helped tremendously with the dust control. Thank you so much for showing us how to do it.

Definitely hoping the available replacement sinks will fit on the old tiles like that. An oscillating mult-tool, with the right blade, would have been much easier in removing the tile instead of the angle grinder. The mult-tool would cause way less to virtually no dust also.

@@kennethsouthard6042 I was lucky to easily remove old sink after cutting out the tiles. I cut tiles 1/4" larger than Kraus template because I was really worry about my cutting skill. Thanks for your suggestions. Since I have a very small space, I have to put vac in backyard and use a long vac hose from backyard to kitchen, so I keep vac running outside for 4 hours to suck the dust from cutting. I should purchase Kraus 's air gap, but I forgot it. I had to buy one from home depot. That is a junk.

not sure how to install our ss sink which will be replacing our old cast iron sink. the sink fits well into the 2 layers of 3/4" plywood. we had to replace the top layer of plywood. but the clips? that's where we're stuck. plus we do have some uneven spots - can we just use the silicone and install it with just that. perhaps weight it down by filling the sinks with water to help adhere it into the silicone? thanks for your help. this is our 4th day - no sink. no dishwasher because that drains thru the sink drains.

Did you measure to see what size of new you would need? If you did, did you just measure the width from tile to tile?

Not to get off topic .. Does anyone know where I could find one of those tiles in the video? Maybe the proper name of the tile style etc , any help would be appreciated.
