Stuck screw
They make an extraction tool called a grabitz
It's a double ended tool which has sort of drill on one end and an ez-out on the other. Use the drill end first then the other with drill in reverse usually will come right out. And put some grease on the new screw before installation and won't have that problem next time

My Kohler cistern (Kohler Code 1764A-0) overflows
Cut the water off (just to keep from wasting water), remove the float and see if water has leaked into the float so that it became too heavy to rise with the water and turn the water off.
Everything else works because you can lift the float and shut off the water. The valve could be sticking in which case, replace or remove and lube with a bit plumber's silicon.

Kohler 3810 toilet wom't flush
Check and see if the handle or the chain inside the tank is broken. If it is, find out the make and model and get replacement. There are many different types of handles out there. Some universal handles won't work, so bring the handle with you when you buy a new one..

Remove bathroom sink flange
Turn off the water valves at the back of the sink and place a bucket underneath the drain to catch any water that may run out.
2
Loosen the nuts that hold together the drain tailpiece and the P-trap with a wrench. Disconnect the the two pieces.
3
Unscrew the drain tailpiece from the drain flange. Depending on how the drain flange is held in place, you may need to hold it down firmly as you twist the tailpiece below. Remove the tailpiece and set it aside.
4
Remove the old drain flange. It may come straight out after the tailpiece is removed, or it may be held in place with putty or silicone. If it is held in place tightly, grasp the edge with a pair of pliers and pull until it comes free.
5
Wipe down the sink area that was underneath the old flange. If the metal was discoloring or rusting, clean the porcelain well and dry it to keep the new flange clean.
6
Apply a thin bead of silicone caulk to the underside of the new flange. Push the new flange into the drain hole in the sink.
7
Push the drain tailpiece back up into the sink's drain from below and screw it into the flange tightly. Use a wrench to tighten it up securely.
8
Reconnect the P-trap to the tailpiece and tighten the nuts that hold it in place. Turn on the water supply to the sink and run water through the pipes to ensure everything is securely fastened.

I just installed a Kohler Forte R10412-N-CP. Hot water flow is good. However, very low cold flow. What's wrong
First turn off the shut-off valves and remove the Forte faucet inlet hose from the cold water line. Then put a temporary inlet hose on that shut-off valve. Test how much water flows into a bucket when you open the valve. Assuming that you had good flow from the cold water shut-off valve through the supply hose, a trickle flow on one side suggests the cartridge plunger (mixing valve) or the inlet hose is blocked or damaged. Since this is a new unit, I'd recommend you replace the faucet. The best option may be to take it to the place where it was purchased (depending on the return policy).
I hope this helps and wish that I had better news for you.
