These are standard plumbing installation guides. They condense most of the steps of the hardware install into one diagram/step of the guide.
I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please add more information on the style of your faucet. (Is it a wall-mounted faucet or a sink-mounted faucet?)
The diaphragm faucet is washerless but is similar to washer-type faucets. A rubber diaphragm between the stem and seat creates a straight-down, frictionless close. As with washer-type faucets, diaphragm faucets have two handles.
Remove the stem by following the steps outlined for washer-type faucets. Instead of a washer on the end of the stem, you'll find a swiveling disc. If the rubber diaphragm doesn't come out with the stem, it is still inside the faucet.
If the diaphragm didn't come out with the stem, use pliers to peel it from inside the faucet and pull it out. Install a new diaphragm around the swiveling disc, then replace the stem in the faucet.
If the faucet is leaking around the stem, replace the stem's O-ring before reinstalling the stem.
I checked online at www.plumbingwarehouse.com/american-standard-kitchen-faucet-hamilton-4040. There is a diagram that shows a seal kit that probably needs to be replaced. The diagram is really good and shows a complete breakdown of your faucet. I hope this helps.
You can go to mnfr's web site and get a parts diagram,or call co.and talk to tech support and they can send you and e-mail of parts break down diagram.
You need to tighten the packing nut down just a little at a time until that problem stops. This diagram will show you the nut whitch is part of the stem. It is item 4 in the diagram. http://chicagofaucet.com/RepairDrawings/pdf/RP701-COLDCP.pdf
If you have a Delta faucet your diverter may need to be replaced. The diveter is located under the spout (see diagram)(this is not your faucet but works the same)
Here are the instructions:
