Step 1: Unscrew Old Seat • Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands. • Your existing toilet seat will be fixed to the bowl by two plastic screws secured underneath with large butterfly nuts. • Unscrew both nuts completely. If the nuts are metal and rusted or corroded, they may need to be carefully cut off with a hacksaw.
Step 2: Remove Old Seat • Lift the old toilet seat away.
Step 3: Assembly of New Toilet Seat • Every toilet seat manufacturer has their own design of attachment points. • Follow the manufacturer's instructions to assemble and insert the retaining bolts on your new seat. • In the picture shown, the retaining bolts are of the snap-in variety with a rotating cuff lock to ensure they stay in place. • Some designs have width- adjustable mechanisms that allow the seat to be fitted to a very wide variety of toilet designs.
Step 4: Fit New Toilet Seat • Attach the new seat to the porcelain through the boltholes on the rim.
Step 5: Tighten Plastic Nuts • Hand tighten the plastic nuts securing the new seat to the bowl. • Don’t over tighten the bolts until you are happy with the position of the seat. • Once you are happy with the positioning, fully tighten the screws.
