    Kohler K-649 Single-Handle Faucet Handle Removal Help Needed
    I can't remove the handle from a Kohler K-649 single-handle kitchen to get to the valve body. I've sprayed lubricant, with no success, and tried to easily pry the handle off with a screw drive; I don't want to damage or break the handle, any suggestions?

    Its held on by an allen set screw under a button in the back. Pry the button off, and unscrew the allen set screw all the way out. Wiggle the handle off.

    Just in case there is a reason for the removal of the handle,

    You didn't say why you are removing the handle, I assume leaks, right?
