Just moved into a new house with a fancy pants toilet that is like skating on ice sitting down! I will be fixing it tonight and the Mrs will be impressed. Thank you so much for posting this.
You deserve a big hug - this is a brilliant help. I was afraid of cracking the tiolet! Thank you for taking the time to help all us folk who need some 'know how!'
You sir, are a legend. Have been trying to figure out why it was loose and the screws wouldn't tighten down for a long time - I installed the thing too. Just needed pulling up to create the tension.
If so many people, including myself, are having problems carrying out this simple household task, perhaps instead of blaming our own lack of expertise, we might ask why the design is so unfathomable?
Thank you so much! I did this by myself and much to my husband's surprise! He has been wondering how to do this for some months now! We were on the verge of calling out the plumber or pulling it off the wall😂
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My son's toilet seat has been "wonky" for nearly a year and he'll be so surprised when he goes to use it again. Very well explained except for geting the correct distance for the pins, but it's was really easy to work that out on my own. Thanks again. Paul
Oh, mate, you have no idea how grateful I am! I've spent long hours trying to figure out how the f*** to do it. And suddenly I stumbled upon your film! Thanks!
You are a lifesaver. I was considering replacing our Toto because the seat has always been a nightmare. I will persevere thanks to your video. Thank you!
I was about to call out someone to fix this for me, then saw your vid which was recommended to me by YT and voila! I now have my brand new toilet back in commission! TYSM! You deserve a Mill! :)
I was just about to contact my landlady to fix it as I couldn't work it out how to do it (tried for 20 min or so) then found your video. It was easy to fix it - thank you very much for your help!
I praise you sir you have not only saved me from a headache which nagging can provide but I no longer need the sledgehammer which eventually would have resulted in a whole new toilet.
Thank you so much for posting this video it saved me do much grief. I had no idea how to get to the back of the toilet. My wife is very pleased now thanks again
Pulling the fitting up towards you, putting the lug under a little tension, while screwing the screw in, is the type of little important detail I just would not have figured out lol, cheers mate, away to get some brownie points of the wife ..
had this loo seat fitted for about 3 years ( the ex fitted it ) , tried to tighten it up and I had no idea those steel caps came off. It had my head done in attempting to tighten it and the underneath screw was just rotating. Thankyou for saving my sanity!
Hi ! I just want to say your video saved my sanity and made our life so much better. That blasted wobbly toilet seat was driving me crazy !!! You are a hero and I cannot thank you enough ! My 6yo daughter also made a drawing and wrote a letter to thank you, but I'm not sure how I could share this with you. You've absolutely had a significant impact on our family life. Thank you !
Thank you! The release button for my toilet seat was out of sight on the right hand back corner of the seat. Your video gave me the general idea and set me in the right direction!
Thank you!!! I've been searching and searching for a video that shows how to tighten these hidden screws. Your video was on point and so simple to follow. My toilet seat is fixed!! You are a CHERRY LIFESAVER!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined this is the way to fix my toilet. I followed you instructions and it is tight once again!
Thank you massively. I have to remove the toilet seat but I can't get the silver covers off even with a screw driver. You have at least confirmed I'm doing the right thing. It's an annoying system.
Brilliant. I could fix the "old" seat mechanisms but was left wanting on the new seat - we have only been using the new bathroom for a week and the seat was loose as.......Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Our toilet and seat is a China-made equivalent
Thanks so much for such a helpful video, I thought I was going to have to have the whole toilet removed to get to the screws!🙈 my button was in the middle at the back so I never would have found it without your help. I’ve not been able to tighten the screw yet, it keeps spinning but I’ll try again- I’ve made far more progress after this video
If the spinning screw is still bugging you, I had to completely unscrew it, and pull the rubber part out of the porcelain. At this point I was able to see the threads to get the bolt all the way in. I couldn't do this while it was still placed in the porcelain. Place back in the hole, and go through the seat install.
Easy to install, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
Wow! Thank you so much!!! I thought I had to remove the entire toilet to fix it 😂 I found another video with the button in the middle and I was confused cause I don’t have one. Really great help thank you!
Thank you Kien Lam!!! You're a life saver. Had no knowledge of fixing toilet seats before your video so I'm extremely grateful. Forgive me if I take all the credit as I explain to my wife that I figured it out myself!!! In my dreams, she'll be impressed but in reality, she'll know I just consulted UA-cam again (I can't win!) I'll sub your channel anyway... thanx again!!!
Oh my god solve my thank you soo soo mmuch I was struggling to fix my toilet seat for ages 😢solve my problem within 2 minutes I am soo thankful for this video ❤
@@corinhart8959 I used a fine electrical screwdriver moving all around the edge until it started. Then could push down through the hole in the top with my thumb at the same time. Just work all around really slowly. When you put them back on spray with a bit of silicone and don't press all the way home
The buttons in the center to release the seat pins was exactly what was stumping me with my brand new toilet. I didn't see that info anywhere, and I was trying to put the decorative caps on but seat would not come off to do so.
Thank you! Been wondering for ages if it was an easy job or I was going to have to call someone in! Turns out, in my case, it was fixed in three minutes! I don’t want to gloat, though, so I’m sorry it’s not been so easy for everybody...😕
Oh, soooo easy. Except with my Toilet Seat From Hell, that has no mechanism to "pop it off." I don't know what the eff I'm gonna do. Call NATO to bomb it off or what?
Lid off, metal covers off. So far so good. I can see what looks like a nut or washer on the end of the screw. I've tried lifting the fixing slightly as suggested but the screw won't tighten Yes, I'm following the 'righty tightly' rule. Am wondering if something has sheared off. Any ideas?
your tutorial is excellent. But issues with the buttons which need to be pushed to lift the seat are so tight, I cannot squeeze the buttons with my strength. Is there any way you could guide me through please?

This is probably the most useful video on the internet! Thank you!

This 3 years old video saved me! My toilet seat have been bothering me for months! Thank you!
Your tip about lifting the screw first to create more tension really helped. Thank you!
This saved me from a wasted effort of removing the toilet completely just to tighten the seat. Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for saving me from ripping it off in rage, when I found out it was the silver buttons to push I put my head down in shame 😞
Oh, mate, you have no idea how grateful I am! I've spent long hours trying to figure out how the f*** to do it. And suddenly I stumbled upon your film! Thanks!
Exact toilet in exact same situation. No way to reach around and tighten. Thank you so much!
I’m just so glad the toilet you were demonstrating on was clean - I dread watching these videos - make me want to gag at times.
You are a lifesaver. I was considering replacing our Toto because the seat has always been a nightmare. I will persevere thanks to your video. Thank you!
Amazing! My seat has been loose for years and can't believe it was such a simple fix. Thanks so much
I'm in Scotland. Good to know there are toilets like mine all around the world. Thank you for your invaluable help!
I'd already found the buttons but wanted to make sure I was doing everything right after the seat was removed. Thanks again!
I was about to call out someone to fix this for me, then saw your vid which was recommended to me by YT and voila! I now have my brand new toilet back in commission! TYSM! You deserve a Mill! :)
Lifting the screws to tighten the tension. You legend thanks for the tip!!

Adding tension by lifting- so helpful, thank you!
Are you kidding me ? I went through hell fixing this seat, and you made it like piece of cake. God Bless You.

I dont know how i can thank you enough. You saved my life
I was searching for tutorials on how to remove the entire unit to get access to the bolts underneath 🤣🤦🏻♂️
Thanks for the *actual* solution!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined this is the way to fix my toilet. I followed you instructions and it is tight once again!
Thank you! this has literally stopped me from loosing my mind as I had no clue how to fix it!
Thank you , great video , finally i know how to fix and my lovely wife will stop asking me to fix it again and again)))
Another one of life's mysteries solved. Feeling more secure with each penny spent. Thanks!
You are a total God of DIY! At last our toilet seat is fixed!
YES. That toilet seat ain't goin' anywhere. Such a simple thing but this video saved me from taking a sledgehammer to the entire bathroom 😂
Thank you so much! I thought I was going to have to live with a loose seat forever!
Perfect - didn't know how to do this and now I do. Well done that man!
Thank you massively. I have to remove the toilet seat but I can't get the silver covers off even with a screw driver. You have at least confirmed I'm doing the right thing. It's an annoying system.
I am having the same challenge. Did you ever find a way to successfully remove the metal caps? Please share.
Sincerely,
Frustrated
Brilliant. I could fix the "old" seat mechanisms but was left wanting on the new seat - we have only been using the new bathroom for a week and the seat was loose as.......Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Our toilet and seat is a China-made equivalent

You are my hero! My seat has been out of use for years. I am going to try this later.
Thank you again. 😁
Thank you. My fixing bolt had snapped..💥I used a expanding screw as used in wall fixings , it worked a treat. I recon you saved me A lot of money 👏👏👏
I have been thinking about using such a bolt since the bolt fell off inside.
Was considering buying a new toilet seat and then I found this. Thank you so much!
