Hi,
There is a loose washer in the faucet...this flaps as the water goes through it and makes the vibration...

This will stop that vibration and hammering sound

Kohler makes their sinks standard, and most all sinks are the same size hole, yes it will fit.

hi, if you push down on the button and giggle it around it should pop back up once you have it up remove it by unscrewing it and clean the area so that it won't get jammed again

always replace cast iron if its not a problem to do so, especially if it looks rough or is leaking or rusting. there are simple special black neoprene boots used to connect cast iron to pvc and do not require anything but a screwdriver, no slovents or sealers are required. always check for leaks if you make an underground connection before you cement the spot back up. its better to use gravel to fill this area in if your particular situation will allow.

Aerator ,sounds like it is not on right ,maybe cross threaded,or just not tight

NOT A EASY FIX,THE CABLE IS NOT ADJUSTED RIGHT,

Hello. You will most likely have to get a model specific rebuild kit from kohler, or home depot and replace the O rings. Joe

I would definitely try adding washers from under the sink. Has it been caulked? Caulking will help to fasten the faucet to the counter.

Try a Blanco Strainer. They come in many assorted strainwers. Ive been selling them for years and not one has come back for return

Spring loaded chrome stopper will not stay down to fill tub with water.

My husband is a plumber. He said to check for pinholes. U should be able to see them. If u find pinholes u can email us and he will tell u how to proceed from there. Email- [email protected]

Okay, remove 2 phillips head screws at lever handle/overflow.

Pull firmly with much effort and bowing the connecting rod a bit.

Up will come a heavy duty spring on the end of the rod.(prolly a big slimly hair ball too!)

Hope you get the spring, cause that's what works the drain stop.

If spring doesn't come out you'll have to "fish" it out.

Clean everything up real good and flush drain good also now.

The "Secret" now is to put the Lever,rod and spring assembly back in and replace screws and get the lever flipped to the left BEFORE you put the Drain Stop in.

How does it open and close do you press it down to close and press again to open?

Look at the links below to see some manuals on how to repair and how to remove from counter.

I can't really put my finger on the cause, but am quite familar with screws not wating to come out of the overflow.

When you finally do get the screws out, see if you can find suitable replacement stainless steel screws.

Get some "copper rich" antisieze from a plumbing shop or auto supply store and apply a little to the threads when you reinstall them (hopefully new screws).

After 40 years, a new tub drain may also be in order, but depending on the location, that can involve a great deal of work.

Best of luck to you!

auger down through over flow, remove two screws and take out stopper assembly out to get in

You have to remove the "large" nut but you need to find a way to hold the faucet. Also, you will see a retaining washer that fits on the inside of that "large" nut. If you loosen this it will release some of the tention on it and hopefull make it easier to remove. Also, try using some lime remover on the unit will might alow the retaining nut to loosen. Good luck and if you can't get it off, contact Kohler, they have an 800 number and they can give you the info you will need depending on your model.

there is no adjustment.. if it worked well in the past you need to replace the cartridge as that controls everything.
