    I'm 89 years old and I never thought I would be required to replace my toilet handle. Today it broke and now I have to replace it myself.. no money for a service visit.
    Your lesson on how to fix it is excellent! Thank you!

    This was a great thing to learn! My problem is usually a toilet that just keeps running after its flushed. I jiggle the handle and it stops but I never removed the tank lid to see why it happens....

    I like to put in the blue tablets but I could also put in a Clorox tablet too unless it fades my blue. I myself have put in a toilet handle , a 56 year old woman. I enjoyed the video!

    I have replaced a number of flush levers in my time
    But the difference between you and me
    I have never used a tool to untighten and tighten the nut
    All by hand

    Nice. Just simply turn water off before doing this then water won't keep running also, this plastic type will not crack the porcelain. You definitely don't won't to over-tight so you won't strip or crack the lever. I know you replaced the toilet but if you weren't planning that, then it's a great idea to buy the kit which has the flapper and the filler float as they usually go out and rubber/gaskets wear out.

    Mine does not have a chain. I'm not sure if the one I purchased, which has holes, will work.
    I DID try to get the handle off by going the wrong way, so now it is really tight & I can't get it off.
    Wish I'd watched the videos first.

    My handle when I press it down the stick hits the top of the cover of the toilet. How do I adjust it so the flapper goes all the way up without the stick hitting the cover

  • @christinerosenquist7657

    I recently changed the handle also. It was a cheap one from China that broke off. I had to go to a real plumber store and bought the metal one.

    The nut on the flusher is stuck. I've tried turning both ways. How can I unstick it?

    • @tonymarsiglia4578
      @tonymarsiglia4578 Год назад

      Make sure you are trying to loosen the reverse threaded nut in the proper direction. If it still fails to break loose with a wrench, spray a little WD-40 or penetrating oil around the nut and surrounding threads, and let let it sit awhile to help free it up. Then you should be able to loosen the nut with a wrench.

    So, if I ever need to replace a toilet handle in such a simple way that I can just follow the package directions, I won't need this RUclips video to help. However, if what I have is NOT such a simple replacement but one where the old HANDLE is gone but NOT the white plastic seal in the hole, which is unfortunately left behind and entirely immovable so that I can't simply put a new handle straight from the package through an empty hole, how do I get that big plastic seal OUT OF THE HOLE first?!?!?
