    Leaking hot water in tub kohler faucet
    I have a kohler bathtub faucet that is leaking hot water. It has three knobs (hot, cold and shower). I turned off the water and tried to take the faucet apart. I took the screw out under the cap, but the cap will not come off to get to the inner workings. Any suggestions on how to get it apart.
    Thanks

    As it is always a case, the trim is calcified which prevents its easy removal. Tap it with screwdriver handle on opposite sides until you'll feel a wiggle- than wiggle it out.
