I was thinking of removing the sink from the wall and working on it
where I have more room (it's old and everything could use
replacing). � How is it attached to the wall? �I don't see any bolts/

thanks.

Yes, the sink is hooked (hung) on a cast plate.

But I would rather cut the existing tube and
use a deep socket to turn the nut. �If you can't
cut high enough, bend the tube back and forth till
it snaps off.

That would get the old one off, �but wouldn't I have the same problem
