Thank you. While I didn't need a cartridge, I appreciate seeing how a Kohler faucet is fixed. Helped me this morning and probably saved me about $200 for a plumber to do it.
Thanks for the video. This is a useful video. Your model of faucet is the same as mines. But mines is an older version from 2003. I just replaced my hot water cartridge. I had to do it by myself but when I looked at the video I could see two flat sides on the brass body of the faucet. My faucet has it but the only difference is that I have a big thin nut holding the faucet body to the sink. You actually put a wrench on flat part of the brass body when you were loosening the cartridge out of the faucet body. Since I was by myself I had to figure out how to hold the brass body without damaging it or the threads for the nut. It took a bit of time to figure out a procedure to hold a wrench to the two flat sides on the body and using a 5/8 socket with a ratchet to loosen the cartridge but I got it done. I didn't need to pull out the faucet body. If I had someone to help me with this job it could easily be done in less than 10 minutes. I would need someone on top with the socket to loosen the cartridge and then torque the new one in while I'm under the sink holding the brass faucet body with a wrench. Another video does it that way. The cartridge was easy enough to loosen since I was using a longer ratchet. Oh yeah, I had to replace the shut off valves. I could barely move the handles on the valves. So I bought two 1/4 turn stop valves and replace both of them since I will replace the cold faucet cartridge later this week.
Hey Brian! Deck business must be getting slow if you've got time to watch my UA-cam videos. If you like this one, you should check out my tiny cabin series. Should be good for a laugh...
I just replaced both cartridges on a Kohler center set bathroom faucet. I didn't need to go under the sink, the bonnets unscrewed and lifted up the handles, though one of them was extremely tough to loosen. The cartridges on my model didn't screw in, they were held in place by a threaded black nylon nut, that takes a 1/2" wrench. One of them loosened fairly fast, the other would turn endlessly but not come up, unbelievable! It was like the threads were gone and turned easily, but wouldn't lift out! I ended up having to drill some holes in it and chisel it out, a real PITA. Then is was hard to screw in the new nylon nut, but I got it and nothing leaks. I wonder if any of you have ever had this issue?
Great video! I think the Kohler repair instructions suggest using a strap wrench and simply twist anticlockwise. Difficult to get purchase on the base, even with a rubber strap wrench. This looks easier (and less likely to destroy the finish!) Thanks again
Definitely worth it. Job can be done in 10 or 15min. Living with a squeaky faucet handle for months/years is awful. You might not have to completely remove the handle, but you can't unscrew it when it's tightened down from underneath.

Thank Phil mine doesn’t squeak but flow is very low !
Very helpful
The first person who just solved my problem, thank-you so much.
Thanks for this video. I now feel that I can do it myself. You boosted my confidence. Sharon
"If the sinks a kohler, the faucet must be." So good. Love ya phil. Gotta get out to the farm sooner then later

You are sooooo lucky. The ass that installed the sink I'm dealing with added so much putty to the faucet that I can't get the faucet handle off.
Beautiful works. Thanks for sharing.

I think you mean a "strap" wrench. There is another video showing the handle removal here: ua-cam.com/video/eLuOkdcGDm8/v-deo.html
@@JeffLeites spell check is an unforgiving mistress! :)
i just called kohler andgot a retrofit kit because mine was frozen and wouldnot unscrew the handles came off fine everything was rusted in
Couldn’t get the faucet handle to twist off. Sucker is going anywhere. Any suggestions?
I used a strap wrench... Worked well. ( But couldn't remove the cartridge.. )
땡큐~
All that for a squeak? Why did it have to be removed from below the deck?
Definitely worth it. Job can be done in 10 or 15min. Living with a squeaky faucet handle for months/years is awful. You might not have to completely remove the handle, but you can't unscrew it when it's tightened down from underneath.
Has to add the’ music. Why? Why! Why do people think an annoying music track must be added to everything.
Cool man 🥳🎉✅✅✅thanks for your video you save me $80bucks💥🧨
Easy money!
Yes!
Not helpful since removal of Kohler faucet top was easy for him. Not all Kohler styles are this easy.
