I have a Kohler hot water stem leaking, running back "down" the stem, into the flange, past the tile, into the wall then to the kitchen ceiling. I've found the replacement (picture hopefully attached), handle and flange are off, NOW--it looks like I could wrench on the chrome exposed end if I use some protective tape, but my helper says I HAVE to buy a "tub faucet socket" that goes through the wall to the brass fitting on the base of the stem. The tile opening doesn't appear like it would accept the socket.... Who's gonna win this? Also, teflon tape or paste?
