How Do I Install A Self-Rimming Sink?

I’d like to learn how to install a sink in my bathroom and I’m thinking of using a self-rimming sink. Besides the sink, what will I need for a DIY installation like this?

Every sink installation begins with the right sized opening. This may mean that your current vanity’s opening will need to be expanded. Once you get the opening in your vanity to the proper size, insert the sink. Afterward, crawl under the sink with a flashlight and begin installing the locknuts – starting with the center locks first, then front and back, and side to side, installing the corner nuts last. Once you get it tightened down, you can run a bead of latex caulking around the edge of the sink. To clean up excess caulk, use a water and sponge.
