Pop the cap off the faucet handle and tighten the screw under it.

SOURCE: Kohler Forte Single Handle Faucet Leaks

you will have to replace the ball assembly with a repair kit
1 turn the water off under the sink (hot and cold)

remove the handle ( you may need an allen head wrench to remove a hex screw or you may have to take a channel lock pliar and unscrew achrome
nut over the ball mechanism

after the handle comes off there is usually some type of lock nut that you must remove to remove the ball mechanism

remove the ball (usually chrome or brass(ther are usually little springs and rubber washers under ball

take ball and washer to ACe or lowes and match the pieces (usually sold as a kit

follow directions and installl

turn water on and pat yo!ur self on the back !

SOURCE: delta faucet is loose ;moves right-left/wobbles. Tightening?

Try tightening the allen set screw behind the spout "you need a special (allen keys) to do this, and one should have came with your faucet". You can also buy or borrow an set of them.

How do I get the handle off so I can tighten it up to eliminate wobble

look for a small hole in the bottom of the faucet handle,, it holds a allen type or a slotted screw for retaining the handle,, ( more than likely on a moen or Kohler its going to be a allen head,) ,, remove that and your handle should come off

Handle is loose enough that it doesn't catch to turn the valve. Not really sure how to tighten this

There is normally a cap on top that needs to be popped of to gain access to the screw. Look closely to be sure before prying it off, it could have threads.

How do you get the handles off the Finial Traditional faucet so that I can tighten a compression nut?

Grasp the base of the handle under the lever by hnad and turn it counterclockwise. If the whole valve turns, you will need to hold the valve from underneith the sink with a wrench while you unscrew the handle base on top. It is difficult to see, even with the Finial owners manual from Kohler how the two join.

Water leaking at handle when turned on

1- Hanldle may have a cap that will come off to access screw to loosen or allen screw on the handle to remove it.
First thing you can check remove handle and make sure the nut that holds stem down is not loose. You can tighten it and try this first just replace handle turn on and check for leaks.

If not please go to step 2 in removal of stem

2- Cut water off and remove handle to gain access to stem. Next remove stem by untighting nut at the base. Remove stem and replace o rings on stem about middle of it. That will stop water from leaking at the base.
