Removing Kitchen Faucet

I am getting ready to remove my Kitchen faucet and want to make sure I am going in the right direction before I start.

First I need to remove the hose for the spray arm at the red arrow point that is pointing to the right and the hot and cold water.

Then it looks like a hex fitting at the red arrow pointing down and hope that releases the U shaped clamp outlined in red??

Steve, the nut will need to be removed all the was to let the U clamp drop and you should be able to pull the faucet straight up.  Like you mentioned, remove the hot/cold and the sprayer.  I removed as much as possible to access this area.  You may also find the the nut is frozen from rust.  Hopefully, it will snap off with a long extension and some brute strength!  lol  You can also spray some rust breaker on that area and let it sit before trying to remove.

Thanks Joe, I was hoping by removing the sprayer hose I could get a Deep Socket on it.  Then if it does not want to play well I can twist it off with a 18" bar  ^.^d

There isn't much room to work with, but anything you can get out of the way is a plus!  Hopefully, the nut will come off without much persuasion!  lol

Have seen an inexpensive "deep socket" to access that nut in the plumbing section of Home Depot, Lowes, etc.
