Question: How do I remove a sink stuck in place with caulking?
Answer: Please, put the utility knife back in the tool box. Trying to cut caulking with a knife will only lead to frustration and a slashed finger or two.

Wrap a towel around one end of a reciprocating saw blade and carefully gnaw away at the caulking. The saw will shred the caulking, enough for you to lift the sink off. Warning: this is not an easy job, and do it only when you have ample supplies of patience.
