I have this 7-year old Kohler faucet:

the hot water will leak at the bonnet, between the top of the skirt and the handle, when the hot water is turned on. I have a 77005 valve, and don't know if this is the part that ultimately needs replaced but in any case, I don't know how to remove the 76153 handle to begin the process. The drawing appears to suggest that the handle is pressed on to the stem. Do I tap it off to disassemble? When eventually inside, should I clean/tighten a specific part to attempt fix before replacing the valve? Thank you!
