We have an el cheapo kitchen faucet that came with the house (6 years
old). It's a stainless steel one piece with a handle to adjust hot/
cold. It also has a plastic sprayer that's very confused. Never worked
as it was intended for. Anyway, these days if we lift the handle, it's
coming off. Does it mean we have to replace the faucet or can we
replace any part within that will fix it? The faucet still works. We
have to be careful not to pull it too hard.

Since I'm a newbie I want to find out how easy/hard it is to replace a
kitchen faucet. We have replaced cartridges in our bath tubs before.
Is replacing a kitchen faucet considerably more complicated than
replacing a cartridge? Should the old faucet be thrown away in the
trash or will any freecycler have any use for it?

Sorry for naive questions.

Thanks.
