Hi
I have a Toto toilet seat, soft close seat on skirted one piece toilet. The area where it is screwed in has lots of rust and black stuff coming out of the screw in area. I've tried to tighten screw which helps a little, but I think I need to replace parts here. Can you help?

i would think the syphon is not closing after the flush, so as the cistern fills it just runs straight into the pan. you'll need to replace the syphon...
this type of seat has rubber gromits that squeeze up when you tighten the screw.if it wont tighten up the gromit may have failed and would need to be replaced.
Hi,
Right behind the bowl on the underside there is a nut on either side that holds the seat on...tighten those nuts and it will tighten down the seat...
I have a Toto Dorian 1.6 Gpf where the right side of the cover separated from the seat frame. I fixed it by removing the seat from the toilet base and driving the stainless steel shaft back into the cover hibge holes.
To remove the toilet seat, use a large phillips head screw drive and unscrew the two long screws that hole the seat to the base.
Then you will see the two steel rods about 1/4 inch in diameter that have worked there way out of the seat hinge. Use a hammer and a screw driver to drive these two hinge pins back out into the toilet seat cover hinge holes.
Replace the toilet seat and screw in the two seat screws being careful to not over tighten them. The seat should now work correctly.
I too could not figure out how to get to the nuts since the skirt completely encloses the base. Nor could my plumber until he called his plumbing supply store. They told him they use a type of rubber piece that can be pushed through the hole from the top and acts as a nut. I didn't see it replaced so I don't know the details but I do recall that when I tried to turn those phillips screws that there was a squishy feeling. I don't know how to tighten under those conditions. I recommend you call a plumbing supply store.
