Rhonda has me doing a little remodel. So as I started to replace the bathroom sink, I ran into the Newell way of doing things. I think they used a 55 gallon drum of silicone to undermount the existing sink to the granite. It would not come loose. I was hesitant to pry too hard because the granite is only 1/2 thick. They do that that to cut weight as opposed to the 1 inch granite normally used.

The strength of the integral sink was just too much to break loose. So I thought what if I break the existing sink in pieces. That first blow with the ball peen hammer had a certain body restriction in full on mode.
   
I am happy to say the granite did not crack, and I was able to get the individual pieces loose.

And of course the final result.
