Need lock washers.
Lift seat to vertical - lift straight up with force - lift off small chrome covers - suggest putting thin rubber betweeen fitting pins and pan - tighten to fit.
Jimbe1120 - agreed, no need to undo the screws on the seat itself (unless you want to make a lot more work for yourself like I've just done!) just pull vertically off pins.

Basically, the circular chrome covers come apart to reveal a Phillips head bolt heads and the tightening takes place from above.. The wing nut below the porcelain becomes captive with a self locking nut when tightened from the top. If the covers do not separate, then the hinges have been overtightened when fitted. First remove the seat (obvious screws). Then remove seat cover by waggling side to side until male hinge fulcrum one side comes out of female cover followed by the other. Turn the whole hinges anticlockwise, while stopping the covers turning too, a couple of threads at a time until the covers have room to separate and the bolt heads become visible,. Re-fit the cover and seat. Align seat to bowl. Lift seat and tighten Philips heads, check seat alignment to bowl and re-overlap chrome covers. Job done. Dave Thursfield
