I recently moved into my first home, and I’m quickly learning how to manage and save money by doing some of my own repairs. Thanks for taking time to produce videos which will help us to do that! I’ll be looking forward to more “self-help” tutorials in the future! Thanks!

[@deb6415]

Me, too! 😁

[@elleshaf3075]

Ditto! Thank you so much. ❤

[@DionneTuplin]

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. That one bit about holding the screwdriver in place while unscrewing the bottom nut was the missing piece for me. Everything was smooth sailing after that. You ROCK!!!

[@jasontaylor2237]

just wanted to say thanks for posting such a simple video on how to install a toilet seat. this should get views for years and years to come

[@mattritz9126]

You're a life saver sir! I've never had to replace a toilet seat so when I went looking for instructions on how to do it I found this video and you explained everything thoroughly and made the project simple. Thank You!

[@DANDLINC]

Months later I see this comment! Glad I helped. Please help me by hitting subscribe...it helps grow my tiny channel and gets my videos out there. Thank you! DANDLINC.

[@udui1o173]

Yep! I am the same as you I didn't know how to do it now I can from watching this YT channel. Thank you very much!

[@bellamarisa]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It seems easy enough but it can seem daunting if you’ve never replaced one before. I especially like that you didn’t over talk just straight to the point. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AlweeNBoo]

Thank you! My dad got me a new toilet seat for our new house and said he'd let me install it myself. Didn't want to disappoint dad so I had to watch this first lol

Thank you so much for posting this video! I’ve recently left my verbally abusive husband and my toddler has started potty training so I had bought the toilet seat with a built it child seat and realized I didn’t know the first thing about how to install or uninstall these things. As someone who is learning how to be independent for the first time, I sincerely thank you for your help with this. 🙏 🙇‍♀️

[@UltimateDorito]

You're doing amazing. Keep going. It's only going to get better. ❤❤❤

Impressively clean bathroom. He seems naturally clean but also paid a lot of attention to detail in the film. I appreciate it.

[@cherrydell1]

Excellent video. I hadn’t a clue how to replace my toilet seat.was wondering how on earth could I undo those screws. Watched yr video and replaced mine in about ten minutes. Thanks a million

[@rhysstuart4933]

Thank you!! Seriously, it's the tiniest things that you miss and suddenly nothing makes sense. Thank you for helping me adult today!!

[@shredders3881]

This video saved me a TON of trouble! Thank you for posting it. A few minutes watching the video, and even fewer minutes replacing the seat, because of my newfound knowledge, and we're ready to go (so to speak)!

[@ninjagurl890]

You had me at the 2:28 mark in this video. I was trying & frustrated in removing the old Bemis toilet seat (hell, I have no idea how old the seat was). I looked under the seat/toilet base and saw some butterfly wing screws that I was able to loosen and remove the old toilet seat. Thank you so much for this video! I was able to install a new Bemis toilet seat with no problem. Thanks again!

[@MsNomzie]

My mom and died when i was very young, and i spent an hour trying to unscrew the knobs from the top.. ty for helping me.

[@rosymc100]

Non-mechanical person here, I read the printed info on the Kohler toilet seat box, got my Phillips head screwdriver ready and was foiled. I did toss out the old and put on the new seat with your help.

[@nikki06515]

Thank you! First video I clicked on and I was able to install on less than 5 minutes. Thank you for Helping this independent women homeowner!

[@IamTalathia]

Thanks for the suggestion of holding the 'nut' to get the bolt off. New home owner- figuring things out on my own as much as I can- with out calling my dad or brother for help. This def built up my self confidence lol.

[@funbee378]

Thanks for such a great explanation! My toilet seat is just old and it broke, and I didn't wanna pay ppl to do it for me😅, And I just followed what you said, went and bought a new one and got my new toilet seat, THANKS🚽❤️

[@catherineryan1791]

I've never changed a toilet seat before. I'm delighted to see your informative video. Thank you for taking the time to record and post this helpful video 👌

[@poeticintrovrt]

So glad I watched this. Had no idea there were things UNDER the bowl (I've cleaned and all and never noticed because the bolts were white). Just changed my first toilet seat in less than 20 minutes!

[@elainemcreynolds4785]

Thank you. I replaced mine in 5 minutes. Your video was the key!

[@kylizjohnson3218]

OMG I ALMOST SPENT AN HOUR TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. My husband has a serious sprain an I decided to help my in-laws renovate the guest bathroom. I am beyond grateful for this video 🙏 thank you so much

[@kkyles605]

This was so helpful. My new toilet seat was a little different to install, but this gave me a general idea of what to do.

[@angelalopez2229]

Thank you so much!! You just saved me from having to buy a new seat! All I had to do was tighten the screws! I had no idea it was so simple. Thanks again! 😊👍

[@dawnjohnson8739]

Oh, boy, I was looking at our toilet seat wondering how to take it off so I can install a bidet. The plastic cover underneath the seat baffled me. Thank you so much for posting this video!

[@afsharlady]

Excellent video! My new toilet seat is installed perfectly! Thank you!

[@KSeet]

Thanks for the tutorial and advice!

[@sleepwalker9936]

Thank you! Today was my son and I first time changing the toilet. My husband normally does it but he's not here and I couldn't wait for him to come home. So thank you for sharing your video. I really needed to know this. 🤗

[@vickiemcconnell1479]

Couldn't have done it without you. Thank you!

[@blacktalon1607]

Hey thanks for the video man. My parents have severe mental illness and if I asked how to do it, it would lead to hours of screaming and berating, and I wanted to avoid that. Thanks for showing me how to do this, it was a lot easier than I thought.

[@dusana5057]

Thank you very much for sharing. I was only able to do it thanks to you. You’ve explained everything in detail, made it clear for me

Thank you just removed my toilet seat because you showed me how easy it is and I needed a new one 😊

[@annhalder2272]

Thank you so much. My toilet seat was so shaky but I was able to fix it after watching your video.

[@explodingorder]

You’re very good at explaining what you’re doing as you’re doing it. Great & helpful video. Thank you!

[@GregorHutton]

Great video and so much more helpful than a load of others, which only showed me more modern seats/fittings and weren’t what I needed. Your video was perfect and the new seat is now fitted. Thank you from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

[@kgirl9441]

I really needed this, as I am installing a new elevated seat as recommended after surgery. Thanks to your video you made this a simple task. As an single woman, I'm very appreciative!

[@pandoramurals7058]

Thank you! Being a female on my own and never having seen this process- I really appreciated it! From Australia 🇦🇺

[@Kimber2011]

Thank you so much!! I just straight up didn't know I could life those flaps in the back which is pretty important in removing a seat. I got a new one like last year but couldn't figure out how to removed the old one so the new one was just sitting in the closet 😭 Thank you!!

[@cf3129]

You did such a great job explaining this. I feel confident enough to change my own lid now. Thanks so much.

[@vioricapineda]

You rock. Thank you for this video. I just changed my first toilette seat :) To think I paid someone to do this for me a few years ago. Thank you KZbin :)

[@sunflowerprice9606]

I love this video. My project for tomorrow. So glad I viewed this b4 hand. I agree some else who stated you saved us so much time and unnecessary heartache. This is very true. Appreciate you posting this 100%

I did it! Thank you! This video was way more helpful than the printed instructions that came with my toilet seat cover.

[@tyresingleton4077]

There is a reasoning on why people don't use metal anymore. Overtime metal rust making it difficult to take off the toilet seat in the future.

[@sharonl4607]

Lol thanks, been putting this off for weeks, was about to ask my mom to come over and do it 🤣🤣

[@MJames-oe3wi]

As soon as you said you were going to hold the top of the bolt and unscrew the wing nut from underneath the toilet, I was thinking - this dude has NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE, Lol!!! Of COURSE, the easiest, correct, and most OBVIOUS way to do it is to UNSCREW FROM THE TOP! That's why they make it with a Phillips head. LOL

[@Kildahl1776]
