Possibly, however I … Possibly, however I would also take a close look at the flapper. Sometimes the flapper will not close properly and water will leak around it into the toilet bowl. Sometimes the flapper just gets worn out and other times there could be an obstruction, e.g. the build up of sediment in the toilet tannk.
Great video. Thanks … Great video. Thanks for sharing with us. One quick question, the water in my toilet tank does not stop and keeps flushing, is this the lever issue?
GREAT video! Your … GREAT video! Your active showing of the steps gave me DIY confidence, which I did not get from just reading directions on the package for the replacement part. I’m thrilled you helped me save tons of money & time over paying a plumber to do this repair. Plus, your help gave me pride of being self-reliant, too. Thanks sooo much!
after I watch this … after I watch this i went and practice on one of my toilets in my house. only took me around 10mins. My toilet didnt have a chain assembly but a notch to put the tank lever in.
You may want to use … You may want to use a hacksaw blade and cut it off, or at least the bolt/arm that is secured by the nut.
A replacement toilet tank lever includes the new arm and nut that hold the handle onto the tank. Just be careful not to crack the toilet in the process.
Question?
I am … Question?
I am trying to replace the lever completely because the handle broke off. But, the nut is either really old and has soften or is some kind of plastic and wax mixture. I tried to use the wrench to remove the nut but try as I might, the nut’s side keeps stripping. I fear it has stripped too much. Any ideas or solutions?
