HELP I NEED THAT PART , IN PLASTIC
just what I was looking for, thanks
awesome
WHEWW!! This video was the BEST!! This was my first DIY project and thanks to the video I didn’t have to call a repair guy or my grandad. THANK YOU!!
This was an extremely helpful video – thanks so much for taking the time to put together, much appreciated and well done!
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?
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.
just chop it off with the hacksaw blade.u mite have to take blade off and just use the blade.
why turn water off to change a flush handle
Because in the process of putting on the new handle you may inadvertantly flush the toilet via lifting the flapper.
Though no real problem it can be annoying to hear the toilet constantly flowing while working on it.
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.
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!
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?
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.
I am having this EXACT problem, and just broke a box cutter trying to cut the stupid thing off. Did you have any luck? If so, how’d you do it??? (It’s been over six months and I’m determined not to call a plumber…)
I used a crescent wrench to take off the toilet tank lever. Not sure exactly what you are trying to cut off.
Sorry… that’s what i get for watching in the dead of night. I meant the nut, that goes over the arm inside the tank. Crescent wrenches and other tools just keep stripping it.
But after 6 mos. and reading the ideas from some of the other responses, i FINALLY got it off! Thanks for the quick reply and for posting this video — very helpful!!!
I had to cut mine off too with a hacksaw! What a nightmare that was!
this video is awesome! thank you for posting and helping us DIY do it ourselves =)
Good video which makes it easy to install tank lever.
Awesome! very easy..thank you. I was having problem removing the handle bar out the hole. you made it look easier. I also think it would have been good if you told people while you were there if the flapper didn’t work as well to check the chain length and to check the flapper to make sure it was in good shape. My arm needs replacing and my flapper is old. Going to go replace both. Thanks again! Loved the video!
