How to Remove a Montgomery Ward Sink and Side Cabinet

Montgomery Ward’s cabinetry and sinks are installed like any other base cabinet. If you are replacing the base cabinet below your kitchen sink, the sink has to come out first, and then remove the cabinet. Doing this project in the correct order helps avoid common beginner mistakes, such as water leaks and even cabinet collapses. This project takes less than an hour to complete from start to finish.

  Pry up the base cabinet’s bottom. Base cabinets are usually nailed into the flooring underneath. Insert a pry bar and pry up. Loosen the nails and work the cabinet free. The cabinet may also be nailed to the side and back wall. If so, pry these nails free. Remove the cabinet.
