[C320-list] Replacing old head sink

[Bill Culbertson]

Yes but...

Yes the rear panel of the hanging locker is remoable but it doesn't give much better access to the head sink.  You have to reach around to port and squeeze your arm in between the wall and the sink bowl.

Nick, 
We thought we had a massive leak under the sink a month or so ago.   Found
that the flex hose connection to one of those little tubes as you call them
was loose.  Tightening that compression connector to the tube fixed it up.
Worth checking all the tube compression fittings for tightness before trying
to pull the faucet.  Not sure, but is the rear panel of the hanging locker
removable so one can get to all those tubes.  I had a heck of a time working
through the aft cabin fold out drawer to tighten the flex tube connection
which was at the bottom of the tube.
Good luck

Thanks for the responses.
Pat and Bruce - yes, I mean the faucet.  It sprung a massive leak
underneath after last winter.  On inspection (via the aft cabin locker),
there are many little metal tubes eminating from a central location to
various locations.  It's so crowded up in there I couldn't tell what
what leaking and assume one of th litte tubes fractured from freezing.
I can find no nuts to unscrew up there (unlike a home sink).  Its been
a while since I've been in there and will be looking again at it this
weekend.  Thought it would be easiest just to pop out the old one,
which connects to two water hoses, and pop in a new one but can't figure
out how to get it off.
