    I need to replace my leaky, corroded, old kitchen faucet. I have the replacement ready to go, but I can’t figure out how to get the old one out. It’s a kohler, and none of the images or videos I’ve found show one like this. I easily got the two plastic nuts off the sides, but in the center, I...
