Faucet is leaking black water around base. Have ordered 1003594 seal kit but am not sure how to get the spout out of its base, w/o damaging it to install the kit.

The number you provided didn't show up as anything, so you will be best to contact kohler directly @ KOHLER | Contact Us (http://www.us.kohler.com/us/static/contact.jsp) They can e-mail you the instructions for your faucet!

You can also call 18004kohler
