Great to see your mistakes. That is the best way to learn. I recently changed the ice maker of the freezer.. the first ices were black (due to the carbon of the new filter). I should have running the water first (to clean the pipes) before installing the new filter and in the middle of the process ( to clean the new filter first), something not mentioned in the instructions 😢. Thanks for sharing. Saludos from Mexico 🇲🇽.

Flushing pipes out when any work is done is a step I wish was highlighted more in the instructions.

I think your advice about the need to clean the old sink drain because a gasket will be installed there deserves mention also in the context of the plastic ring below each valve handle. The plastic rings are gaskets, so the countertop surface under the plastic rings needs to be clean (and flat). For example, mineral deposits might need to be removed. The bottom of each of the metal valve collars that will sit on the plastic rings also needs to be clean (and flat). Although the collars probably already are since they're new, they should be inspected to confirm. (In general, everything should be inspected prior to installation.) The gaskets should be inspected for defects too. I didn't watch the previous installation video, so I don't know whether you mentioned this there.

In the full removal and replacement video I do talk about the need to clean the counters and inside of the sink, but I didn't notice the silicone on the underside of the sink until I tested and had water pour everywhere :).

I infer some of the instructions are overly terse. Also, the aerator should probably not be pre-installed by the factory, because a disassembly step is counter-intuitive. Wouldn't it be great if instructions include a warning list of the most common mistakes?

It would be great if the instructions warned you about the most common errors. As for the aerator, I think it might get lost if not installed at the factory, but if they said to remove it before installation then you would know where it is and that you had to put it back on.
