    Kohler K-10412 Kitchen Sink Disassembly
    I have a Kohler K-10412 kitchen sink with separate spray hose. I found a good response to what may need to be done to fix a leak from the faucet, but I can't seem to find a way to disassemble it. At the rear of the handle there's a small oval 'blank -and I tried prying it out with no luck.

    Terph8r had his question answered and got the job done but didn't note steps in the disassembly phase of the project -now I need to know how.

    Thanks

    Thanks -diagram is handy. :) Looks like I need to get the plug button off -and I tried, even with a pretty sturdy screwdriver, to do just that with no success. :mad: Any hints on best way to do that?

    Thanks again.

    Tilt the handle forward: TOWARDS the faucet. Push a very small, very thin file underneath the backside of the handle. The button has two short 'legs'. Push (gently) on these legs with the file and the button will pop right out.

    Hi Rdlohr

    Look at page #15 at the link Afaroo (John) provided at post #2 above... clearly shows the diverter going into the rear of the valve body... ;)

    It takes a bit of work to get to it, but it can be done pretty quickly. Be sure to have some silicone grease on hand to lubricate the O-rings on the valve body before replacing the spout assembly... makes for one less repair you need to do in the future!

    Questions? Let us know, OK?
