Check whether the faucet is leaking or the drainage is leaking. If the faucet is leaking, you need tools to loosen the faucet to check whether the hoses are leaking or not. If the drainage is leaking, you can tighten the slip nut.

Under the handle, there is a curved trim ring at the top that needs to be unscrewed from the base. This can be on tight due to hard water buildup. I cut two strips of rubber to wrap, one to wrap around the trim ring and the other to wrap base while using channel locks for the trim ring and a pipe wrench to keep the base from turning.After that is off, you will see a large hex head retainer nut that holds the valve assembly in place. A spanner wrench will get that off fairly easy. Reassembly is the reverse. Kohler specs the hex nut to be torqued at 9 ft-lbs or 1//4 turn past hand tight.

The handle has a allen set screw loosen that until the handle comes off then the bonnet nut will unscrew revealing the bonnet cap and washer the cartridge should be under that most kohler's require a special tool to remove cartridge(turn water to faucet off prior to working on faucet,also note how everything is removed it needs to be replaced in same order especially the cartridge,also you should use plumbers grease to coat all seal when replacing everything).

I have a K-R10430. I was having issues with the hand spray - poor water pressure. Kholer sent out a new diverter. After shutting off watner, when you remove the small screw in the back of the Spout, pull the spout off. Put a paper towel into the body to soak up excess water inside body. Then you need a small screw driver or small flat item to fit inside one side of the retaining ring near the opening, there is a space where you can fit something behind and carefully move the retaining ring out. Pull out with needle nose pliers then pull the diverter out with needle nose pliers. Insert new diverter with teeth facing up and push down. Insert retaining ring and make sure it slips into same **** in wall of body.

if you undo the grub screw the outlet will pull out there is a o-ring in there this may need to be replaced

try soaking it in some CLR calcium lime and rust remover .

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.

Likely needs a new cartridge.

Look up the Kohler 800 number. Their parts have a lifetime warranty and they will gladly send a replacement part.

I assume you mean the separate H/C valve body as opposed to single handle(bath/shower). https://www.us.kohler.com/us/Taboret-t-handles/productDetail/product:417141/417141.htm?skuId=341208 There is one O ring just below threads of body.

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.
