Things You'll Need:
- Drill
- Flat bar
-
Step 1
Remove the doors and drawers from the corner cabinet and the cabinet next to it. Measure the width of the corner cabinet and move the cabinet that distance one way or the other. You may have to remove more than just one cabinet.
-
Step 2
Remove the toe kicks attached to the corner cabinet by prying them loose with a thin pry bar starting at the farthest point from the corner. The toe kick is the area of the cabinet that meets the floor.
-
Step 3
Remove the screws attaching the corner cabinet to the wall and to the cabinet or cabinets next to it.
-
Step 4
Remove the screws from the frames that attach one cabinet to the next. There are two or three screws on each side of the frame.
-
Step 5
Pull out the cabinet (or cabinets) next to the corner cabinet by grabbing the bottom just above the toe kick. You may have to alternate pulling on the bottom and the top. Once you pull the cabinet out 3/4 inch, the cabinet narrows and should easily come out unless the cabinet is wedged between the countertop and the floor. If it is wedged in, loosen or remove the screws that attach the countertop to adjacent cabinets. On the cabinets that are staying, slip in shims between the top of the cabinet and the countertop to raise the counter enough to keep it from binding.
-
Step 6
Slide the corner cabinet over into the opening created by removing the adjacent cabinet or cabinets and pull it out of the opening.
