Installing a toilet seat is a relatively simple DIY task. Here’s a basic guide:
1. Remove the Old Seat:
Locate the bolts holding the seat to the toilet bowl. They are usually at the back of the seat, often covered by plastic caps.
Remove the caps if necessary, then unscrew the bolts with a wrench or pliers. Lift off the old seat.
2. Clean the Area:
Clean the area around the toilet bowl where the seat was attached to ensure a good seal for the new seat.
3. Install the New Seat:
Position the new seat on the toilet bowl, aligning the holes in the seat with the holes on the toilet.
Insert the bolts through the holes in the seat and into the holes on the toilet bowl.
Secure the bolts with washers and nuts from underneath the toilet bowl, tightening them until the seat is firmly in place. Be careful not to over-tighten, as this can crack the toilet.
4. Check the Fit:
Make sure the seat is centered and secure. Open and close the seat to ensure it moves smoothly.
5. Test:
Sit on the seat to make sure it's comfortable and stable.
