The seat cover seemed to have been permanently bolted down to the bowl (one-piece lowboy) with unremovable screws which just turned but would not loosened up.

You can try replacing the flapper with a timed flapper. You can purchase one at Home Depot and they are made by fluidmaster. Set the flapper on the shortest flush time thus reducing the flow of water. If this doesn't help, try to isolate the particular holes that are causing the greatest amount of splash. Using an epoxy glue (after the holes are completely dry) plug them up with the glue. This is a permanent fix so be careful.

Reach under the bowl of the toilet and feel for a rather large wing-nut bolt on each side of the toilet. You must hold these with your hand and tighten the screws with a screwdriver. If you don't hold these wingnuts, then the screws will keep spinning forever and never tighten. Run your hand directly below the toilet just below the screws and you will find them. VERY EASY FIX!
SOURCE: kohler lowboy toilet seat does not have bolts underneath
I have the same low boy where the bolts are inside the hollow body of the toilet. I called Kohler customer service and was told to use brute force to yank the toilet seat out. My husband suggested using a saw to cut the bolt but he hasn't done it yet. He wants to replace all our Kohler low boys which constantly leak becos of poor design of handle and flapper. The handle pulls the flapper slightly to the side when you flush. And the flapper lip being a tiny bit too small, if it doesn't sit just right, the toilet leaks. We've replaced one already with a Toto and love it. Too bad that Kohler isn't trying to fix the problem as I see many many online posts with the same problem and recommendation to replace the Kohler with Toto or somethng else.

I had the same problem and contacted Eljer and they sent me the above instructions to make a tool to remove the flush valve.

Thanks! Does "aunt splitter" come under a different name? - The local stores do not have it.
My apologies. It is actually called a nut splitter.
