Re: Change kitchen tap
Pop out the copper tube, cut it off, fit an isolator valve and then screw the new fittings on to the valve. That's what I do anyway.

Re: Change kitchen tap
Sometimes it is worth the hassle of unclipping the sink top to lift it and giving yourself a bit of room to work. The only issue then is if you mess the gasket up for the sink to worktop. You can get a new seal strip off Amazon for a fiver.
