Ah yes, old metal cabinets, they suck. Pick up on the back of the sink after everything is disconnected. Might be a little hard to do, but try first one back corner then the other. The back will pull up about a 45 degree angle or so, and you can then lift it off the cabinets. The sink and drain boards are all one piece
if you were near by, i could show you my sink that is off. Oh, they aren't as heavy as you would think.

The only problem is that the sink, draining board and base cabinet are one solid metal unit, the type out of the early 40's or 50's. My feelings wouldn't be hurt if I end up wrecking the whole unit, as it's badly rusted. The only catch is that the it seems to be part of the rest of the under cabinets as well, all along the wall. Suppose I should just hit the sink with a sledge hammer? I have a heavy-duty recopacating saw that I suppose I could use to cut away. That way I could separate the bad part from the good part, that I want to leave. 'Just wondering if anyone else has ever messed with metal kitchen cabinets in the past.
