Turn off the water to the fixture.

Flush the toilet and hold the handle down to let as much water out of the tank as possible.

Sponge the rest of the water out so the tank is dry.

Remove or undo the water supply tube from the fill valve.

Remove the three bolts holding the tank to the bowl and remove the tank.

Replace the old seal with the new one and reverse the whole process.

You should be good to go.

Good luck.

    Thanks for response. When I took it apart there was another thin disc seal in addition to triangular rubber gasket. I purchased triangular replacement gasket but do not see this part inside. It is just a thin gasket made of ??? Also do you need any glue or caulk to make sure it is sealed? Thanks for your help.

    The other seal is a cardboard filler that you should put in with the new rubber seal if it is in good shape it keeps the rubber seal from sticking to the toilet bowl.
    You do not need any sealant this is a compression seal.

When the toilet back is removed does the seal need to be replaced?
Yes the rubber gasket between the bowl and the tank should be replaced, because it takes the imprint of the flush valve and ther's no way to make sure it goes back in exactly the same place, so it could leak, They are not expensive and should be replaced, along with the tank to bowl gaskets.

My toilet is a duravit 1930 series model with Euro style push flusher rather than handle. Internal flushing mechanism is not traditional float ball. toilet water constantly leaks from tank into bowl...
A fairly easy ( but messy ) fix - get a replacement tank to bowl gasket and bolt kit, shut off water supply, drain tank, remove bolts ( you might have to cut, depending on your water source and minerals in your water). Remove old gasket and clean surface with 00 grade steel wool. Replace gasket, install new bolts, remount tank.
Good luck!!

I have a Kohler toilet. The triangular black gasket between tank and boel needs to be replaced. While I had the tank off, I noticed the large plastic pipe that comes from the tank is threaded like a screw....
Inside the tank it has a gasket from the stand pipe to the bottom of the tank. The stand pipe threads go through the tank and a plastic nut holds it to the tank. Then a gasket goes on the nut and threads to make a seal between the tank and bowl. I have included this picture that has the above look. I hope this will be of some help for you.

I have a Porcher one-piece toilet with a bad gasket. How do I take it apart and replace the gasket?
if you are talking about the wax ring you remove the floor mounting bolts and replace the wax ring under it. first you want to shut water off then flush to empty tank and with a wet dry vac remove any water left . now you can remove it without any mess.

I have toilet with no visable clog but when I flush water fills the bowl and overflows? How do I fix
Something is stuck inside of the toilet. About the only way to get some of them out is to take the toilet up. Shut off water to the toilet and flush it one last time.You need to use a plunger and push all the water you can out of the bowl. Remove the bolts that hold it to the floor. Youll have a little left over water you'll have to clean up after this next step so get something to soak up water. It may be easier to remove the tank now than to take a chance on damaging the gaskets. Just going to have to turn the toilet over and over and over and see if something falls out into the bowl. To repair this damage you're going to have to clean off the wax ring (messy Job) and get a new wax ring. They're pretty universal 3 and 4 inch are the same. PUt the wax ring onto the bottom of the toilet then set it back over the bolts that hold it to the floor and tighten it back down. Replace the tank and tank gaskets if you took it off. When I fixed mine I found a AA battery inside. That was all it took to plug it up every time you flushed toilet paper.

Not the float
Had a similar problem with a Wellworth after changing out all the replaceable parts. The new triangle gasket + nut kit was missing the flat anti-friction ring needed to allow the plastic nut to be hand tightened enough against the rubber gasket - without the ring the friction stops the nut turning, and you get a leak because there isn't enough pressure on the gasket. Retrieved the old ring from the trash & put it in - works perfect now! not sure if this is your problem too, but you might want to check the locknut / gasket tightness & seal.
