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!

@jodifinnegan8797 3 года назад

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....

Thanks! Sometimes it's the simple things that stump us. I had a toilet that didn't function for a couple of years. A simple fix I didn't know about.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 4 года назад

Yes, I have done a lot of things off camera that I regret because they could have helped people out so I am happy to hear you say that. Thanks for checking it out and for the comment!

@ricardodavis4863 4 года назад

You did a good job. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 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 😂😂🇯🇲

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!

@TheFixerHomeRepair 4 года назад

Thats a good idea! Thanks for the tip, Diane!

@TheFixerHomeRepair 4 года назад

Yeah might be a good idea. Thanks for the tip, Gail! And thanks for checking out the video!

@evalynn7005 3 года назад

I've lived on septic half my life. No Clorox or harsh chemicals. Nothing except "natural" products.

@Sunny-xn1rw Год назад

@@evalynn7005 I agree. I'm also on septic and the installer said no bleach or harsh chemicals.

@michelebradley7813 3 месяца назад

I'm not on Septic, but over time will the Clorox &/or Soap powder damage the other components?

My metal bar only stands straight right...how do I get it down some for room to have it travel up fir flush? No room and only sits one position?? Metal

@Mothermetalhead 4 года назад

I had to do that as well recently. The damn chain kept slipping off

@TheFixerHomeRepair 4 года назад

Yup, very annoying! Thanks for checking out the video!

@BluffytheVamp Год назад

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

@kittiecorner 4 месяца назад

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.

@henrythe83rd18 2 года назад

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.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback! And for checking out the video!

@bonniehyderman3529 3 года назад

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

@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.

@christinerosenquist7657 4 года назад

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.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 4 года назад

Yeah, I am hoping this one will last. Thanks for checking out the video and for the comment, Christine!

@danelleleaird5176 10 месяцев назад

How do get the nut off the handle

@JosephMcPhail 4 года назад

Was that a flip phone on your hip? I need to go back to a simpler phone.

@TheFixerHomeRepair 4 года назад

Ha! No that is an iPhone. You are actually the first person to point out my phone, which surprises me, I have it in almost every video. Thanks for watching!

@csmith63 3 года назад

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 RU-vid 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?!?!?
