Remove Kohler Kitchen Faucet

How to separate the Kohler kitchen faucet from the sink assembly?

After disconnecting the water lines, the next step would be to separate the faucet from the kitchen sink. These are the steps to separate the Kohler kitchen faucet from the kitchen sink and remove it completely.

  • Position your pillow under the sink. Get under the sink on your back so that you can have a good look at the faucet assembly under the sink.
  • Some faucets have mounting screws that help give the mounting nut a tighter grip on the sink. Loosen these screws using your screwdriver. You might need a longer screwdriver if these screws are hard to reach.
  • If the mounting screws are hard to remove, spray a generous amount of penetrating oil and let it soak for a few minutes. Retry if the screws are no longer stuck. If they are, spray more penetrating oil and let it soak once more. Do the same thing if the mounting nut is hard to remove.
  • Like the mounting screws, the mounting nuts can also be hard to reach because they will be behind the sink, and the position of the sink could be limiting the space for you to work on the nuts. Check which of the wrenches you have prepared will allow you to reach the mounting nuts while giving you a good grip too. Unscrew all the mounting nuts under the sink.
  • Carefully lift the Kohler kitchen faucet from the sink. Apply a steady amount of force to get rid of caulk that might be holding it down. Uninstall the escutcheon assembly as well.
  • Clean the area thoroughly.

    If your faucet is leaking from the spout, chances are it is because the bonnet nut is not tight enough. To fix this, remove the handle and use a hex wrench to loosen the bonnet nut. Once it is loose, smear some plumbers grease or petroleum jelly on the threads. This will help to create a seal and prevent the nut from coming loose in the future.
