    I didn't I think I could do this myself but I followed your video here n actually put the bolt on w the washer n it totally worked out great. I'm so glad you had this video. I was determined to at least try it myself without having to call a handyman who would have charged me me at $50.00 if not more. Thank you so much. God bless you.

    10-20-24 VERY HELPFUL. ONE suggestion: It looks like you turned the left hinge to your left to tighten and the right screw hinge to your right. Is that correct?

Thank you for making it simple and short. My toilet is fixed now. So thank you. You have no idea how happy I am right now.

    I used the metal bolts since the plastic bole that came with the toilet seat broke.
    However, the directions does not say where the washer goes. I put it on the bottom. Should it have been installed on top of the seat hinged to the toilet instead of the bottom?

    I tried that and two weeks later, loose again! I tightened it super tight too!

    • @ChrisMcDowellDIY
      @ChrisMcDowellDIY  Год назад

      Yeah they do eventually loosen, but I haven‘t had any loosen as fast as yours. A better solution, but a little more expensive is one of the soft close toilet seats. At least the ones I‘ve used have an attachment point that never loosens. You quite literally tighten it until the head pops off. Then it just never loosens, at least the ones I’ve done never have. It‘s $30 to $40 for one of those seats. I have another video installing one of them if you need an exact brand. I talk about it in that video. Anyway, thanks for watching!

  • @Shalmaneser1
    @Shalmaneser1 2 года назад

    Good video.
    To the uninitiated: The nuts in the package are on backwards. You want to reverse them so the fluted (sloped) edge is against the toilet.
    May the guy who designed this replacement bolt rot. (I just pulled the remaining unbroken of this type from my toilet. They do not unscrew. The plastic slot is inadequate - breaking is the usual solution. Maybe a matching slot head is up to the task. Have you seen the price of oddball tools lately?

    • @loragarver2856
      @loragarver2856 9 месяцев назад

      Thank you! Thank you! I had already bought the replacement bolts, & thought they were on upside down, but both directions worked. Have been looking at all videos, but nobody addressed this. Including this one. I am shall we say challenged at this type work, so thank you @Shalmaneser1 for clearing this up for me.

    • @Shalmaneser1
      @Shalmaneser1 9 месяцев назад

      @@loragarver2856 FWIW: They sent me a pair of metal bolts & nuts without charge. I'm guessing that they may be fine-tuning their engineering. (hoping, really) Seems Microsoft isn't the only one using the public as guinea pigs.
