Belfast sink?

[JCplumb]

I'm changing a mixer tap tomorrow on a Belfast sink.
I've fitted what was called a farmhouse sink before but it had a precut base to fix it to the wall and the taps were at the side.
Any tips on removing the thing to get at the taps which are between it and the wall and the custard says the sink will need to come out to get at them?
I'm guessing they're all different and I'll just have to work it out when I get there, but any words of wisdom from anyone who comes across these more than I do would be welcome.

Some long reach sockets and extension bar? or box spanners of differrent sizes that fit inside each other enabling you to reach the back nut
That's only if you can disconnect the tails, other than that, sink out
They are usually slid in under the worktop, then the waste fitting is fitted, then siliconed up
You may be able to remove it in reverse order

EDIT
If it's impossible to remove without damaging worktop etc and there is a good sized base unit next to it, go through the side of it with multi cutter to access tap
Give the custard the option

Thanks for that pal, from what the customer says, there is 100% no access to the taps without taking the sink out. I might see it differently when I get there.
Where you say 'They are usually slid in under the worktop', do you mean there's a lip on the top of the sink that supports the weight of the sink under the worktop? If so I bet that's going to be a pain to un-silicone...

Nice find Plumben! The sink I did today was very similar, took an hour to pull it out though because there was about 18 million tubes worth of silicone all round it in a tight cupboard, managed to get it out though eventually and swapped the taps over.
I noticed Tom put the rubber type connectors straight on to ISO's in that video, naughty naughty, I used a pair of these today.

I think where all guilty of just banging the flexi's onto ISO's at one point or another, spare rad tails I've been using although I've now got a few rad valves without tails
