I thought I would post some pictures I took when I replaced the 3 faucets in our bathrooms and how easy and quick it can be. This happened a while back but I never posted the pics
First picture I note the time, 6 straight up, this is the old faucet
.jpg)
We have a boxed new faucet
.jpg)
And we have the required tools, scissors are for opening the box
.jpg)
a look at the bottom side of the sink
.jpg)
crawled under the sink, where the water line attaches to the bottom of the old faucet (notice the white nuts) and how the stopper is attached
.jpg)
Same thing, broader view
.jpg)
Real Step 1 is TURN THE WATER OFF, and then try and run any out of the faucet but that doesn't always work
.jpg)
then unscrew the ends of the water lines from the stobs on the faucet, the stopper has also been removed, these were easy twist with your hand screws, had to use the pliers to get these started off. Then unscrew the white nuts off the back of the faucet stobs, some debris may fall so watch out.

with no nuts on the backside removal of old faucet is easy, not the clock which is about 12 minutes later
.jpg)
put the plastic brace thing on the bottom of new faucet and insert into holes
.jpg)
put the new stopper pole down the top before you crawl back under sink
.jpg)
screw the new nuts (my new ones were black) onto the new faucet, reattach the stopper to the bottom on the stopper
.jpg)
this gold "nut" is what screws on to the bottom of the faucet, slide it up the line and screw away
.jpg)
here both waterlines and stopper have been reattached
.jpg)
and final product is a completely functioning sink, notice the whole process took under 20 minutes. Of the 3 sinks I did only one did I have to retighten something as the water lines were leaking a bit, hence the need for the pliers (or vicegrips)
.jpg)
and here is the finished product

Good Job. And it looks good too!
One caveat for anyone using your site as a guide... watch out for the edges on the perforated bar the stopper pull attaches to, they can be sharp. A partial amputation of the thumb and a lot of stitches taught me that the hard way.
