The hot water side of my Kohler Revival faucet became harder to turn 6 months ago and has since developed a steady slow leak at the base of the escutcheon/skirt that sits below the handle and covers the valve. Water sometimes also drips from the top of the skirt. I installed this unit myself in 2002 but can't remember how I put it together, and I'm unable to remove the handle or skirt to check out what is wrong. This unit came with a life time guarantee, so I'm thinking of asking Kohler for a new valve. Is this the kind of thing I can do myself (I'm pretty handy) or do I need a professional.
Thanks, Len
