Kitchen Faucet Replacement on TM 2720

[Kalamacoho]

I had leaks under the sink and a dripping faucet on my 2008 2720.
Finally determined the leak was coming from the hot and cold water connections on the underside of the faucet connections. So I elected for a new faucet, but was stumped on how to change it out.
The access on the 2720 from underneath is next to impossible. Even if you where a super flexible person with long arms, there are electrical wires between the plumbing and your reach.

So I searched this awesome site and found this old post on installing access ports (After lots of looking and scrolling).

(Thanks to wayne-o) for the idea.

I am adding this new thread to offer some additional learnings.

- Cutting access ports was relatively quick and easy.
- Note, you do cut through some wood frame doing this.
- I found the frame to be well laminated to the aluminum siding, thus I don't suspect this will be an issue.
- I used the same saw blade to cut wood plugs for the port covers. I wrapped some black gorilla tape to increase the diameter for a just snug fit.
- My leak was caused by poor condition of the PEX fitting seals. I replaced them with new PEX fitting seals.
- I now have a new faucet (shown in photo), no leaks, and access ports for any future maintenance.
