Looks like a complete teardown.

Of course, that is what I suspected to begin with.  It is just that there was, some, very minor hope, that it would be somewhat simpler.  I got the hoses off, checked the valves (they work and well).  I then went in to get the hoses disconnected from the faucet, but that isn't how this design works.  As I remember, it was a heck of a job getting the faucet in.  It is very non-standard.  Actually, in some ways, I am happy to be taking it out.  I didn't get it set very well and always wanted a redo, it's just I wasn't really interested with wrestling with a removal and reinstallation without a better cause than it being slightly loose and my ego.  So, there is that.

However, after wrestling with the hoses, and tinkering under there for an hour, I am... I need a bit of a rest.  I have the alarm set for when I need to shower, shave, and set up the patio.  And yet I am still going to try to beat that and get the faucet out.  That will take some research.  I am hoping YouTube will have something for me.  No telling, but it's worth a shot.  Written instructions, essentially, suck.  Throw in that they do a terrible job of pointing out the really important from the asinine (don't connect the hose to the valve, point the end at your eye, and turn on the valve...  Oh really?  You don't say.  Get that off this page!).  YouTube is hit and miss, both for availability and usefulness, but when it's a hit, it's worth the effort to find.

A bit of coffee, a little rest, and some searching.  Then back to it.  It looks simple enough, it should just come out pretty easily, but it also looks slightly delicate.  A yank, push, or such, with my strength, will... damage something, more likely than not.  For as weak and ill as I am, I can break steel, dent brass and copper, and shred wires with what I thought was a minor manipulation.  I don't know how that is possible, but it's just the way it is.  Yeah, I can take a door handle off.  Trust me.  Gentle, lad... gentle.

Well... off to look for the pot of gold.  Later.

No help there.  It's probably just as simple as it seems, I hope.  The problem is the plumber's wrench isn't fitting in, and on.  I was hoping there was an easier trick to it.  I guess I just start loosening things, by hand if possible, by any other means as necessary.  Hmm... I'll finish my coffee first.  Later.
