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.
