How to Disassemble a Kohler Bathroom Faucet

Kohler bathroom faucets are known for their quality and durability. However, even the best faucets can eventually need to be repaired or replaced. Replacing a faucet is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few hours. However, before you can replace a faucet, you must first disassemble it.

Here are the steps on how to disassemble a Kohler bathroom faucet:

Tools Required:

Phillips head screwdriver
Adjustable wrench (optional)
Allen wrench (optional)

1. Turn off the water supply. The first step is to turn off the water supply to the faucet. There are usually two shut-off valves located beneath the sink. Turn the valves clockwise to turn off the water.

2. Remove the aerator. The aerator is the small, screen-like device that is attached to the end of the faucet spout. It helps to reduce water flow and add air to the water stream. To remove the aerator, unscrew it counterclockwise by hand. If the aerator is stuck, you can use an adjustable wrench to loosen it.

3. Remove the handle. The handle is attached to the faucet body by a screw or Allen bolt. Use a Phillips head screwdriver or Allen wrench to remove the screw or bolt. Once the screw or bolt is removed, the handle can be pulled off.

4. Remove the cartridge. The cartridge is the heart of the faucet. It controls the flow of water and the temperature of the water. To remove the cartridge, use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nut that holds it in place. Once the nut is loosened, the cartridge can be pulled out of the faucet body.

5. Remove the spout. The spout is the part of the faucet that the water flows out of. It is usually attached to the faucet body by a screw or nut. Use a Phillips head screwdriver or adjustable wrench to remove the screw or nut. Once the screw or nut is removed, the spout can be pulled off.

6. Remove the faucet body. The faucet body is the main part of the faucet. It is attached to the sink by a nut. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nut. Once the nut is loosened, the faucet body can be removed from the sink.
