Best video on this topic on all of KZbin, thanks for your techniques and very clear explanation. Even years later you are still helping folks like me! Thanks for posting this! For some dumb reason the rental I own, built after 2005 has metal fixtures inside the toilets! Everything I ever worked on since the 80s always had plastic I am stunned at this install I have here, but your video solved it. Kudos!

I wish I would've watched this 2 yrs ago. 🤦‍♀️ The roommate snapped the arm off on the basement toilet and I tried to fix it (me trying to be Ms. Handywoman and not knowing anything about toilets) I stripped the plastic nut and couldn't get it off and basically turned it into a circle nut. I've tried several times since then and still, nothing worked. Going to get me a little saw tomorrow and carefully try that. THANK YOU!

Of course, with my fantastic luck, my handle fixture WAS tighty righty. It had a frozen nut from a fixture from the 80's, if that's a factor in the thread direction. Thanks though. I applied penetrating oil on it for a full day, put the vice grips to both sides, and I saw the threads moving out from the nut and that was enough to break the rust and I backed it off ice and easy, right to the trash bin. Thanks again!

Left handed thread? I feel so silly. I have been using PB blaster for 3 days. After watching a minute of your video, I leaped out of my chair and had the handle off in 45 seconds. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I will put my cut off wheel back in the toolbox.

Thank you VERY much for saying that the plastic nut that holds the toilet handle on must be turned to the RIGHT to loosen. After struggling with inadvertently tightening the four-wings (for hand-tightening) wing nut with slipjoint pliers, and breaking off two of its four wings (but somehow not cracking the toilet tank, despite having turned the plastic wing nut at least 1/4 turn TIGHTER), I watched your video and then somehow managed to turn it back the to the RIGHT, and then continue to LOOSEN and remove it. Now I will buy a new toilet handle, since it's wing nut is almost destroyed. By the way, I had been trying to remove the handle so that I could then spray the friction points with non-drip WD40, because the handle was not rotating back to its home position after flushing - so the water kept running. How should I have fixed that?

Is this correct? With reverse thread, you tighten by turning counter-clockwise, and loosen by turning clockwise. Fluidmaster instructions verbatim: “REMOVE LEVER unscrew tank lever nut by twisting counter-clockwise, remove nut, and pull lever from tank” They even have a picture with an arrow showing which way to turn. “INSTALL LEVER Hand-tighten locknut clockwise” Am I crazy or are the Fluidmaster instructions WRONG?? I spent a lot of time following those instructions and finally had to hacksaw the plastic nut off. Not happy.

Since I've been in the trade, toilet tank levers typically are tightened counterclockwise (left) and removed clockwise (right). It's possible Fluidmaster has there own proprietary way of doing it, but I speak from experience (cracking a toilet tank) while trying trying to remove an old tank lever. Thanks for commenting.

@@BobsPlumbingVideos Thanks Bob. I emailed Fluidmaster about this. They responded that I was correct (that instructions are wrong) and they would alert the “Instructions Team”. Vindication! But still, it caused a lot of frustration and wasted time. 🤷‍♀️

Need help with replacing a toilet handle on an old Richmond toliet. I have a universal handle or lever that has the plastic nut. The metal bar corroded. I bought the same model on amazon. It now has a metal nut that makes the handle too tight to flush. I tried bending the rod that lifts up and down to face more inward . The toilet sides of the tank are not flat. It's not round. The 2 sides stick out more than the inner tank part. It's really old. I don't know which lever or handle will actually fit.

If it is in fact like the one in the video, that front chrome piece has two flats on either side. You should be able to place a channel lock pliers on it and in a clockwise direction loosen it. Be careful! Don't want to crack the tank!

@@BobsPlumbingVideos thanks for the help. After watching I did manage to get it off. I held on to the threaded area in the the tank and manage to unscrew it from the outside of the tank. Miracle. I declare if I hadn't found your video I would still be at it. What is the next best handle to use on a toilet tank? I bought a cheap on at Ace Hardware, and it is cheap, Thanks.
