        My 1yr old Kohler bathroom faucet is leaking up a storm. They sent me a ceramic valve to replace but I can’t figure out how to remove the faucet handle to install it. It is the finial traditional lavatory set. Kohler says the repair can be done without taking the faucet off the sink. Any info would be appreciated.
        Thanks

          Your fct handle has a bonnet under the top of the handle ,thats the cone shaped piece ,that unscrews counterclockwise off the valve body ,grasp it with your hand and turn ,it comes off as one part handle and bonnet ,carefull not to turn the valvebody ,it could cause a leak between the valve body and spout connections ,If unsure call a plumber ,Good Juck
