You will need to remove the toilet and access the bolts from inside the enclosure. It is a dirty job.... good luck!

attach 2X4s behind it to ensure its stable. I had same problem but used that wood to reinforce it (covered with hardy board & paint) and reattached it and wall is very strong and toilet does not move.

leaking from the fill valve under the tank or running into the bowl via the overflow tube? please be specific:)

Your chain is probably metal that snags under the flap (verify by taking top off tank and looking) and you should switch to a plastic chain.


Easy just replace the flap that stops the water after handle is down and toilet flushes and also replace the chain that connects from handle to rubber flap. New chain should be plastic one so it can be reattached and problem is fixed. Should cost less then 5 bucks from Home Depot or Lowes. They can happily step you through the process. I should take about 2 minutes to install ...if that.


Remember to remove excess links of plastic chain with a pair of scissors. Its doesn't require a rocket scientist.

Hi,
You can buy a new flapper for less then ten bucks and changing it takes two minutes... this will stop your problem

yes i can,,,he done the scews up to tight that hold then down and the move ment in them is cracking the screw holes out, undo the screws a little that hold them down and maybe put in some rubber washers as well,,,you only sit on them, its not a jig your doing
so they realy dont need to be done down tight only just to hold them thats all,

The flush button should unscrew from the top of the lid. to replace the flush mec. and to remove the lid.

Good luck

On this model am not sure if it come apart. But if you have a air compressure try and blow though it. when you have it off toilet. sounds like its dirt caught in it.
hope this helped. :)

This problem is either two things:

1/ The water inlet valve is letting by and going down the overflow pipe. (Connected to the main centre column). You can check this by taking off the lid off.

2/ Centre column seal at the base is letting by. You can unclick the centre column by pushing the two paddles either side.

Then lift out the centre column and check the grey washer at the base. You can turn this washer around and see if this solves - if not the column has probably has a part snap off.

You can get spares here:
