Top 20 Kohler K-10270-4-BV Forte Two Handle Centerset Lavatory Faucet with Sculpte... Questions & Answers

Hi Lee, CCW Lefty loosey, Righty tighty, LOL Have fun at it.

It looks like the valve is installed from the bottom of the fixture, My guess is that the entire fixture has to be removed to get to the valves.

Cut off water supply to faucet remove allen screw that hold handle on remove handle unscrew bonnet nut then take out cartridge and put in new one.Make sure you note how old came out so you can put new one in correctly

There is a small set screw on the handle it may be covered with a small cover that needs to be removed to reveal the set screw.

To remove the plastic insert on your Kohler K-171 kitchen faucet, you can follow these steps: First, turn off the water supply to the faucet. Next, remove the handle of the faucet by unscrewing the set screw on the underside of the handle using a hex wrench or an Allen key. Once the handle is removed, you should see a plastic insert that covers the cartridge. To remove this insert, use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry it off. Once the plastic insert is removed, you should be able to access the cartridge. If you need more detailed instructions, you can refer to the installation manual for your Kohler K-171 kitchen faucet .

Question edited to fix the typos. Always worrying when they discontinue lines, and it makes you wonder why? https://www.us.kohler.com/us/taboret-centerset-bathroom-sink-faucet-with-lever-handles/productDetail/product:420060/420060.htm I normally find that they use steel screws and they stick. Make some sort of a dam around the screw with stout polythene like Ziploc bag and electrical tape to seal the base. Then squirt penetrating oil or WD40 in there to cover the screw head. Top it up a couple of times a day and do that for two days. That should loosen it up and get the oil down the threads. Often it is just easier to buy a new set.
