How do you remove a bathroom sink?
Place some towels under the sink to catch any drips while doing this procedure. Turn off the valves under the sink that supply water to the faucet. Disconnect the supply lines to the faucet. Place a bucket under the drain pipe. Disconnect the p-trap. Drop the trap into the bucket. The mechanics of the sink have been disconnected now the sink needs to be removed. If it is a pedistal sink, look for screws or bolts unterneath by the faucet. I've installed in vanity, those sinks are usually glued to the cabinets. Use a prybar to separate it. http://www.lets-do-diy.com/Projects-and-advice/Bathroom/Basins-and-bidets.aspx

How do you connect water lines to a kitchen faucet when the line coming out of the faucet is copper and the nut is stripped?
I have never seen a faucet that has a nut on the line coming out of it. Usually it is a male connection and the nut is on the supply line between the faucet and the house supply. Anyway, if the line coming out of the faucet is messed up, you could probably cut it and use a compression fitting to go between the faucet and the supply line to the house line.

From underneath. There are two different types. There will either be a large nut on each side where the water lines attach or there will be a horseshoe shaped plate in the center that is held in place by one smaller nut. Take the supply lines off and remove the nuts that hold the faucet in place and lift it up.
Should you used pipe tape on kitchen sink water lines?
No. Regardless of what type of supply line you use between the house supply and the faucet it will be a compression fitting. Copper lines with a nut and ferrule or flexible ones are both compression and do not need tape or pipe dope.
How are bathroom faucets installed?
Bathroom faucets are installed by pushing the faucet into the hole left by the old faucet. Before doing this, you'll probably want to apply plumber's tape or joint compound on the threads of the faucet stems and also apply caulk. Then you connect your water supply lines to the faucet stems and apply more plumber's tape to the shutoff valve threads. The last step is to tighten the coupling nuts to the faucet supply stems, taking care not to overtighten.
How do you stop a faucet from sputtering?
Often a faucet will sputter if there is air in the lines. This happens if the water has been turned off and then on again. If this is the cause, it is only necessary to run the water a while and the air will get out of the lines, and the sputtering will stop.
