I have a Kohler pull-down kitchen faucet with a Kohler 1261404-VS spray head. Recently the water stopped flowing as strongly through it. We had a similar issue with some bathroom faucets, and replacing some clogged aerators was the solution in that case.
I've removed the spray head, and removed a piece off the top of it that exposes what looks like a recessed aerator screen. There also appears to be another aerator (or something like it) at the bottom of the spray head.
Although I was able to remove the one piece from the top, I can't figure out how to dismantle the spray head any further to actually get to the aerators and remove them.
And, as much as I'd like to believe I have good google-fu, I haven't been able to find any maintenance / cleaning information online.
Is it possible to open one of those up and replace the aerators? If so, how? Or are we just going to have to replace the entire spray head?

Did you check the other end of the hose for clogs? I didn't find any parts listed for that model number so I think the spray head is the part. Try soaking the head in some CLR and then back wash it and see if it helps. I've worked on a lot of Kohler products and many of them are not made to be disassembled. The ones I did get apart were so scratched up I just replaced them.
