Before we start, we need to locate the water main or we can use the valves for hat and cold under the sink.

Usually, there’s a valve before the flex pipe to isolate the tap from the rest of the circuit.

 Put a towel under as there will be water left in the system

 Slowly undo the flex pipes nuts. Do it slowly just in case you forgot about turning the water off. 

Use 2 spanners one holding the copper pipe female connector firm in place and the other one undo the flex male.
