    Easy to install, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.

    If you cannot unscrew the bolts under the loo because they are rigid, as I have usually found, take a chisel and if you can get it under the circular disc that secures the seat to the loo just use brute force and the disc will pop off releasing the holding screw which drops away.

    Thanks to your advice and instructions I did it! I fitted the new seat with confidence. The instructions where in the seat, and I did not throw them away. Great advice. the seat came with a great little gadget to screw the screws into the bottom of the loo. thanks very much.

    Hi James. Please could you do a video on measuring up for a new toilet seat? There are lots of conflicting guides on here. I mean, do you measure the toilet or the old seat? Inches or cm? I'll need to buy online so I want to get it right. Many thanks - and btw every time I approach a DIY job now I hear your 'HOLD TIGHT!' :)

    The metal bolts have one problem, if they have been there for a while, then the threads can get all rusty, and they can be a real $%#@ to get off.

    Good video, but I am confused, they could have kept the same seat by just adjusting the position of the hinge holes, most have 2 optional holes to place the bolt in. Further forward or back.

  • @aerialkate
    @aerialkate 8 лет назад

    Thanks! The toilet toilet seat bit slamming down is also a real pain when you try to clean the loo. I always use a cheap throwaway cloth do the seat bit first then inside the bowl last (for obvious reasons). When you put the seat bit up after cleaning it and try and do the bowl it slams back down. You didn't say why the wooden ones tend to fall down like that (mine is a wooden one too). Is it because they're too heavy? Also, what's that tool called that you used instead of a spanner please?

    Any idea how to change a toilet seat that the bolts are not visible. My toilet looks like a solid piece. I think the seat just goes into the holes. but the bottom of the holes are not visible. How do I get the seat off with out pulling the toilet off the floor. One side of the toilet seat is come loose and you can pull it off from the toilet but the other side is not come loose. I hate these toilet seats and they are on three toilets in my home and I struggle with them all. Any help you can give would be great.
