QUOTE(cloud666 @ Aug 6 2015, 04:00 PM) Depends how it was installed in the first place.If your sink's ledge sits between a piece of wood and your countertop then you are pretty much farked If it's just held on by silicone and mounting screws at the bottom, then you got a chance I doubt you can remove the countertop without destroying the cabinet Are you asking because your sink has a problem or is this just a precautionary step just in case something happens in the future?
