I like how I turned to this video after I got the toilet seat off. I got the new seat on but it has to be said if I hadn't had found this video my family would be crapping through a hole. Thankyou! 😂

What a positive guy. It makes his day that a toilet seat stands its self. like!

@destinycole 2 года назад

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.

@philjones2029 6 лет назад

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.

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!' :)

I was wondering that too, how on earth do I get this seat off, argh, thank goodness for his instructions, I then realised I had to take the bolts off the bottom too x

@78236931 2 года назад

What’s that nut he uses to tighten the bolt

@JR-lg8sq 3 года назад

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 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?

@plumberparts 8 лет назад

+aerialkate Just poorly designed. Thanks! PP!

Hi. My old toilet seat has two plastic long screws with a 'half' nut on the underside of each. The plastic screw is disintegrating when I try and loosen it with a flat headed screwdriver and I can't get the plastic nut to budge even with a pair of pliers...help!

@Jessedolce101 8 лет назад

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.

@plumberparts 8 лет назад

+Jesse Dolce Allen key the toilet seat off. Then remove the old bolts from above. Fit your new seat. Sounds easy doesn't it? IT ISNT!

I call seats that do that a "knob chopper"... 🤣 Quick question for you, I have measured my toilet and its 17" x 14" but could I fit an 18" seat on it? It's an elongated toilet.

@paulschmidt7473 8 лет назад

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.

@plumberparts 8 лет назад

@ketihrendrag9489 5 лет назад

and as far as the thing falling down goes, maybe they could just hold it up. And also did someone actually pay a plumber to do this? Must be not too bright or very rich.

@DanielS10291 4 года назад

Am I the only one who thinks these are really poorly designed? When you tighten the pole onto the hinge on the toilet seat it’s never enough and then the nuts you tighten under the seat just loosen it again when tightened! Exactly what happened when you took off the old one

@nannettebattista3047 6 лет назад

Very interesting plans for something like that I have found on the stodoys website.

@MKRM27 8 лет назад

Ah, when toilet seats were simple. Too many back-to-wall loos with the seat fittings need you to a) unscrew pan-floor bolts b) drain pan c) detach pan inlet and waste outlet, etc. Who thought that design was a good idea?!
