Old Kohler Faucet model - How to disassemble?

[Quaker]

I have a Kohler lavatory faucet that is dripping rapidly. I have almost no experience with plumbing, but I wanted to try fixing it myself.

The nice people at Kohler looked at a photo of my faucent, told me that I the model I have is the K-8211-K-CP Taboret widespread, and sent me two replacement cartridges.

My conundrum is that I can't for the life of me figure out how to disassemble the T-Handle to get the thing off.

This manual isn't helping. http://www.us.kohler.com/onlinecatalog/pdf/112979_2.pdf

Am I missing something simple? Is this not the model they think it is?

This looks like the set up you have. In my opinion Kohler mas the most over engineered and complicated faucets on the market.

Thank you! Yes, I'm sure that's it.

So I'm not crazy. It looks like you can unscrew those T-handles from each side; but I swear I've tried with all the force I can muster and there's no evidence they're going to budge.

WD-40?

PB Blaster will work much better than WD-40.

Great I'll give it a try. Thanks!
