"Yes you can by using a screwdriver. It's quite easy to do. Open the doors unscrew the hinges. Look inside you should see screws for the top sides and bottom. Take the top off after doors then sides and bottom last cheers."

"Yes you can but be sure that all water and electricity supply's have been disconnected from the units this is almost in the case of the electricity supply and is usually marked on your electricity fuse box in the case of the water it is best to turn off the water supply from under the sink unit or turn off completely at your water mains supply tap and run your taps to empty water from tank hot water heating must be turned off if you are successful in getting the cold water off you can then empty the hot water tank as well in the case of your gas supply be absolutely sure that you have turned off at your meter if you complete these steps and take care about not damaging any pipe work then you should be able to turn on supply's after"
