Kohler K-12176-CP Fairfax Single Handle Kitchen Faucet with Matching Side S... Questions & Answers
The handle function is stiff.
You need to take the handle off and remove the cariridge and then place a food grade lube on all the moving parts. The replace the parts as you took them off.
You may fine your going to have to replace the cartridge after you remove the old one. So just dont do it at a time when the store are not open. Unless you have valves under the sink faucet
Best of luck

Lift up leaver and no water after 10 seconds
The aireator is clogged with dibri. Thats the part right on the tip end of the faucet where the water comes out. It will look something like this.
It will screw off, make sure you remember how it is assembled as you dissassemble the aerator to clean it. They typically consist of a few screens, a washer, and a plastic flow desperser.

How do I remove the plastic insert to access the cartridge on a Kohler K-171 kitchen faucet?
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 .
Valve is set to far into the wall...
First, your not going to like the solution. There really is no way to solve this on kohler faucets. Some companies make adapters but as far as I know kohler isn't one of them. Hopefully you can cut a hole in the drywall behind and put it where it should be, if not the marble comes back off.
