The handle that protrudes above the back plate actually has two parts - the bonnet (the thicker, onion-shaped base) and the actual handle that moves (see a snapshot from Kohler's manual below). The bonnet threads onto the valve, so you would need a strap wrench (or strong and dry hands :) ) to turn it counter-clockwise while holding the handle down. The handle is not detachable from the bonnet - they both come out when you completely unscrew the bonnet.
This is, obviously, a reverse of the installation procedure:

Good luck!
THE HANDLE I HAVE DOES NOT HAVE TWO PARTS OR A SET SCREW, HELP
Is the handle glued on? I don't know the model # of ours but the handle came off and there are no screws.
Great info! Do you have part# for mixer & pressure unit? I see K15700 & K15701 for valve & 2 different pressure unit #’s.
