Today is my covid quarantine day 3. And I just fixed the leaking tiolet today, I ordered from the link you gave which was almost $6 and I fixed did all by myself. My husband said "you see, you dont need me after all " 😎 thanks for the video. Very very helpful.

@hkk3656 3 года назад

This is a great video. Very well done. One word of caution that wasn't mentioned is don't over tighten the bolts. A few years back I did this and heard a "crack". Porcelain cracks very easily under pressure and I found out I could buy a whole new toilet for $40 more then special ordering just the tank. I took an easy 45 minute job and made it onto an all day project. I've never made that mistake again. It's a lot easier situation correcting an under tightened bolt then replacing the whole toilet. I hope this helps someone else not to make the same mistake as I did.

@janiceriedel8845 9 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for the clear instructions. I was able to do this repair with the help of my mom. We were afraid to tighten the bolts too much and crack the tank. The bolts leaked UNTIL I used a ratchet socket wrench. Worked like a charm. No leaks. Thank you for helping me save money by doing it myself.

The missing step is to cover the toilet seat if you are placing any tools or the tank there. Most scratch easily and can cost $80 to replace! A little precaution to save a lot of headache and cost.

So clear that it didn't just explain, it also gave me confidence. However, I was surprised to find that, for the kit I bought at my local home improvement superstore, the new large gasket was significantly larger than the old one. I ended up reusing the old one. No leaks so far.

I never thought that it could be leaking from between the bowl and tank, but there was a rust bath starting from this area. I figured it would require a plumber, but I will give it a try tomorrow. The turkey baster to empty out the remaining water in the tank is a great idea. I use mine for all sorts of projects, although I have never used it to baste a turkey.
