    Grohe Kitchen Faucet fix and removal
    I have a Grohe Kitchen Faucet, I looked online and it looks like a Europlus Dual Spray Pullout Model 33-939. It is leaking under the sink from the Faucet where the cold water line goes into the faucet housing.

    Does anyone know if I can get inside there from the top? Who ever installed the faucet and sink made it almost impossible to remove without braking something.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    That faucet should have 3/8" braided supplies on both the hot and the cold -- The supplies thread into the bottom of the faucet.

    You should be able to disconnect the supply from the angle stop and then further tighten it clockwise into the bottom of the faucet.

    This is actually pretty common with faucet supplies of this kind, they will unscrew themselves over time if the supply is stressed in the wrong direction when the connection is made to the angle stop.

    Thanks for the response.

    I can not get to the supply where it connects to the faucet. It goes into the Faucet body and is hidden.

    You should be able to grasp the braided supply (after it has been disconnected from the stop) and tighten it w/out removing it from the faucet.

    Widdershins is right: the supply is screwed in, but it has O-ring at its end. So the O-ring is actually what makes the seal. It is tightened in by hand. You should be able to unscrew it by disconnecting supply from the water supply and twisting it.

    But before you do this, I would suggest that you make sure you don't have leaking Pull Out Hose. Pull out the hose, lay it down inside the sink, turn water ON , crawl under the sink - and see, if the leak continues. It may leak at the handle and water travels inside the body of the faucet and drips under the sink. Make sure handle is screwed in all the way. Leaking hose is a common problem with Grohe pull out kitchen faucets.
