how can i remove old sink faucet

we are replacing gold moen sink faucet with brushed nickel. The handles came off very easy but we can not get the faucet off. There is not a bolt/screw or anything to remove and we have tried to twist the trim piece like the handles but it just spins. nothing underneath to unscrew either.

Are we just supposed to pull it off????? It seems to be attached to something....does anybody know?????

THanks.

LOL ..... it is not that easy ! You have to get underneath, on your back, with a tool and unscrew the nut that holds body against the sink. It can be large nut ( here you use basin wrench ) or it can be elongated nut ( here you use small crescent wrench ). Unscrew it and than you will be able to lift the faucet.

I assume that by "sink faucet you mean kitchen sink.
A Moen deck faucet is decxured by a single nut located under the faucet, (see image). this can best be addressed with a basin wrench,(see image)
Shut the water off to the valve and unscrew the supplies. You may now back the retaining nut out counterclockwise. Once out, pull up on the valve and unscrew the sprayer hose from the valve body. Your faucet should be clear by now. good luck, Tom
