| How to replace the flush handle Some toilets have unique flush handles and can not be replaced with a universal flush handle.
This is a basic toilet flush handle it is old and pitted and ready to break off |
|
The nut that holds the handle on to the tank has a reversed thread, you will have to turn it clockwise to remove it. |
 |
Then just pull the old handle out of the hole |
 |
| Once you remove the nut and any washers remove them from the tank, they can cause serious problems if they go down the flush valve. |
|
Place the new handle in to the hole place any washers and the new nut on and tighten the nut, remember the nut is a left hand thread, you will need to turn it counter clockwise to tighten it. |
