    This is probably 8th toilet-seat DIY video I watched today. And it's the first one that actually showed the type of toilet seat that I need help with. And it was explained nice and clearly, at the right speed. Thank you so much

      I can't get at the screw now to tighten it since I've put the plastic disc over the screw,can't get the disc off what nightmare.

      It was well explained. I followed the instructions, and I have successfully fixed two of the toilet seats that have been giving me concern. Thank you so much.

    Thank you! It’s been so hard to find a video on how to replace a toilet seat for the concealed/clean line toilet. This is the best video! You also taught me about the quick release for cleaning… I never knew!

    Saved me today! Just loosed my one piece for cleaning, and heard a drop of screw head, then dumbfounded how to reach the back cause there is no space at all! This one clearly showed how mechanical parts needed to hold the seat. Thank you!

    I cannot tell you how helpful this has been. The only video on YT which deals with our particular type of toilet! My husband has dementia and is unable to do any DIY any more. I will be able to do it myself without the expense of a handyman. Thank you so so much 😇

    Thank you for this lesson Jordan, it enabled and equipped me to help myself.
    Your guidance in demonstration was just what was needed. Your style and delivery encouraged me to complete a task that I had started but could not finish. I had removed the old toilet seat but got stuck at removing the screw fittings, so my replacement toilet seat sat in its wrapping for a little while, until today.
    The key point (for me) was when you said not to worry about the bits at the bottom of the old screw that may probably drop down inside the integrated unit; that freed me and now the job is done at last! Thank you so much.
    Keep teaching, you have a gift.😊

    @TheOldHacker 2 місяці тому +1

    An excellent video, clearly explained and demonstrated. Like many of us, I had no idea that the seat could be removed so easily for cleaning round the fittings. I now feel confident that I can install a new wooden seat properly. The issue with the twisted rubber seal is also useful for us to know. Thanks mate!

  • @annietab2419
    @annietab2419 2 роки тому +25

    Brilliant instruction video. Thank you so much for putting this online. I couldn't even get the old seat off, with its hidden fixings, before watching this. So it has shown me how to remove the old and then fit the new. My new fixings were slightly different but this advice still worked for mine. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you!

    Fantastic instruction video - just one thing, in a real life situation I highly recommend putting a few layers of cling film across the bowl to seal the top - I always do that first having been caught out once as a screw disappeared into the depths of the bowl! Oops!

    I had to remove one of these and it's pretty dirty and a bit rusty. I've take one off before, but I couldn't remember how I did it. I knew the screws were under the metal caps but they wouldn't come off and I didn't want to break it. Seeing this I knew what I had to do.
    Thanks

  • @claireperks78
    @claireperks78 11 місяців тому +1

    This video is a revelation!! I've has a broken seat for years and no idea how to change it because it had no visible underneath nut to untighten. I've looked everywhere but obviously it helps to know what things are called!!
    Please consider renaming your video to mention "blind screw fixing" or "internal fixing" or "no visible underneath screw" or something more helpful. There are millions of UA-cam videos about changing toilet seats and NONE that contain the same content as yours.
    Thank you so very much!!!!!!!🎉
