Working on enough old houses, it often seemed
every part of sink system was messed up, or was corroded
and stuck to every other part. I learned to plan
to just replace everything at the same time, faster,
easier, and less foul language.
That generally meant pulling/lifting the sink (generally
a badly chipped enameled sink, which was the worse part).
Having that big opening available in the top of the counter
makes it go easier, but yeah, moving the sink and re-sealing
everything...
Need to decide what works for you.
