your video is still out here 8 years later saving lives, just want you know that ♥

You're most welcome. Comments like this make my DAY! 😁️ I'm glad to know I could help you and that you got value from my work here. I made this video to help people just like you. Thank you for watching, commenting and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

I'm a 59 year-old-woman whose never done anything like this ever before!! Not only did I successfully replace parts for one tank BUT TWO!!! Thank you for such a detailed video.

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. I am very happy to know I could help you. Thank you very much for watching and the kind words. All the best.

[@dorothyhaws6120]

I am a 58 year old woman that's been divorced and on my own for 16 years. With the help of online videos, I've installed and repaired all kinds of things I never imagined I'd be responsible for by myself. I especially liked this one because it was real time and you ran into difficulties just like most of us do, making the repair/installation process realistic. This made for a longer video than others but was worth it to me because you shared problem-solving techniques. My children are all grown and on their own now and they know more than I did partly because of watching and helping me be the do-it-yourself lady I have become. Every time I successfully complete another project, I believe I am awesome! Thank you for your help!

[@richardlloydusa]

+Dorothy Haws You are most welcome. It's heart warming to me to hear stories like this. The feeling of success and achievement in getting a job like this done correctly is great. There is a pride in doing yourself and getting it right. I am glad I could help. Thanks for watching and the kind comments.

[@quabledistocficklepo3597]

I started with another video, but I had to leave it because it didn't make several thing clear. This video gives all the explanations that I need, and I'll be using it tomorrow--I'm too tired now--to install the toilet tank repair kit. I'll be back after I finish the job. Oh, I just noticed the presence of some old-timers here. Well, I beat them all. I'm 81, but I don't feel any reason for boasting. I still have everything I need to do the job. I'm just a not a very handy handyman, but age has to do with the unhandy part.

Thanks so much again! I am a woman that has changed 2 toilet guts on my own thanks to your videos. You speak clear and easy and make sure the details are understandable. Yay! .......no more money for the plumber. 😃

You are most welcome. I am very happy to hear I could help you save money and give you the satisfaction of getting this job done on your own. Thanks for watching and the kind comments. All the best.

[@danseman1]

Richard, thank you for leaving the mistakes in the video. Everyone makes them regardless of how much experience or training you have had. By leaving them in, you make everyone aware of such things. It takes a strong personality to not edit them out. I've been doing this for years,and I still learned a few things by observations I've made while watching your video.

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. I am going to continue to make videos in this fashion (Mistakes not edited out) so people can learn from my mistakes, lol. Again, if I am making them then others will probably make them too. Thank you for understanding, your kind comments and watching.

[@phyllislebard9191]

Thank you Richard! Your video proves that even a 65-year-old lady can fix her toilet (with a LITTLE help from her husband to lift the tank). I love the step-by-step thoroughness of your instructions. I looked at another video but found it lacking in some details that I needed, so I'm glad I stumbled upon your video. One skill of a good teacher is the ability to put yourself in the learner's shoes -- yes I need to know which direction a gasket should face, etc. At one point my husband came in and tried to bull his way into helping me. I told him to get out -- I want to know that I've done every step correctly.

Very clearly done step-by-step video of how to do a FluidMaster Tank Repair Kit installation. Mr. Lloyd is a calm, patient instructor who isn't hyped up on caffeine and he takes you thru the installation steps at a pace anyone can follow. If only every KZbin presenter could follow his lead we could all learn a thing or two.

[@pedrodelacabra1855]

I just watched a bunch of these toilet tank guts replacement videos from different people and I think this one had the most good information. Now I don't feel like a complete basket case to get this job done. Thanks Richard for doing a 'real' good video.

[@BassieBassieB]

This was perfect. You saved me lots of aggravation. The written instructions that came with this kit are frustrating. Your video DIY instruction was excellent. Thank you

[@sam9242]

You remind me of my father-in-law back in the 60s. I learned more from him than imaginable. Much thanks.

[@RG-xv7hf]

Wow, Great fool proof video with great instructions and full view of installation, lower and upper parts. Very rarely I see that much care taken by the presenter so that you don't have any blind spot in your sight!

[@rwilkins38]

Thank you so much Richard.....I'm 77 yrs old and it was a pretty easy task for me. Saved me some bucks. Video was great, I followed it step by step.

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. I am very glad I could help you get this done. Thanks for watching and the kind comments.

[@AnninHazardKY]

This was so very helpful! I bought the Fluidmaster kit at my local Lowe’s, got it home, and was totally buffaloed by the “easy installation” instructions. After looking at the parts for a couple of days, I found this video and felt totally confident about proceeding. My only issue was a big triangular rubber gasket on the bottom of my Kohler’s toilet. I called Kohler (SUPER not helpful) and Fluidmaster (equally not helpful). After much deliberation, I reused one of the three bolts from my Kohler and the six rubber gaskets in this kit and threw the triangular gasket in the garbage. Richard, you are my hero! Thank you!

[@yvonneshields]

Thank you for a clear and detailed instruction video. My husband and I learned from you and got our toilet fixed! We are seniors and most appreciative.

[@charliehager5458]

Perfect! I followed along step-by-step and now the toilet works like new! And best of all, it all worked on the first try! No leaks! Thanks for your video, great job!

[@KCSmith31]

Really appreciate the time you took to make the video and share it. I found one issue with your process that I want to bring to your attention. The tank bolts need to use the thinner nuts before the regular nut. Basically the correct order is for the bolt head to go through rubber washer, bottom of the tank, metal washer, thin nut, toilet bowl, rubber washer, metal washer regular nut. This allows you to directly tighten the rubber inside tank with the thin nut. Then you tighten the regular nut for the tank to the bowel. Some will have three bolts instead of two and they provide extra rubber washers for this but you need to reuse your bolt and nuts. There is a correct order of hardware parts diagram in step 4 of the instructions that will make this more clear.

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.

[@MountainRider7]

I think my favorite thing about this video is the problem you had with the chain under the bottom seal. I'm sure that a lot of people have the same problem, but you calmly showed us how to solve it. Thank you.

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. I was actually happy that it happened to me so I could show it to my viewers too. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@MountainRider7]

@@richardlloydusa I was confused about the washers and nuts on the tank bolts, so I went to a plumbing supply store. I bought a tank bolt kit from them and asked them about the washers. They said that there should be a rubber washer inside the tank and outside. One metal washer should go over the outside rubber washer and one of the nuts should be used to tighten it. The other washer and nut should be used to hold the tank to the bowl. This allows the torque on the tank sealing washers to be different from the torque used to level the tank. My tank was installed the same way you show yours, but the attachment bolts had been torqued so much to make a seal that the inside rubber washer was heavily deformed and the metal washers holding the tank to the bowl were bent into dome shapes. I suspect this was done by the contractor because it saves money.

[@richardlloydusa]

[@mws3779]

I used the same exact kit, I put in the bolts the way it was described in the instructions. The second rubber gaskets protect the porcelain on the bowl. But it works great, I put this kit on a 68 year old toilet. Unfortunately my disassembly wasn't as smooth as yours the flapper and over flow tube were extremely corroded and improperly installed. I had to carefully cut off the brass assembly with a reciprocating saw. Now the toilet works better than it has in years. The adjustable flapper helps control the amount of water that goes thru the system. Also it's a great idea that the fill valve assembly is height adjustable.

[@bsimpson639]

Liked and subbed! You really helped me out of a bind! I have a tip to share, and an additional point about mounting the tank onto the bowl. Tip: When removing the supply line and shut off valve, I taped some aluminum foil to the bathroom wall under the valve. I chose foil because you can easily form it in case of a leak, and guide the water into a dish or onto a towel. Also, my instructions for the fluidmaster say to use washers and nuts on the tank bolts, then ADDITIONAL washers and nuts to secure the tank onto the bowl. The instructions have likely been updated since you published this video.

[@susanjanewilkins]

Thanks Richard. You were very clear and thorough. I have never done any toilet plumbing EVERY and your video is very empowering. You are great!

Super easy in hind sight. Anybody with a slight mechanical inkling can probably finish the job after just watching the parts on removal, as reinstallation is essentially the reverse process. GOD bless you!

[@allehman8377]

Great job. I needed the refresher. I'm glad you included the part at the end about the excess chain. It can get missed, and it doesn't always get tangled under the flapper valve. But sooner or later it will tangle, usually on your last flush before leaving on a weekend vacation. Make sure it is short enough (but not too short) even if it does not tangle on the first flush. That is a lesson learned on my part. Well done.

Great job, great visuals, and great audio. I really liked how you explained, and showed what mistakes you made and how to fix them.

Now I feel confident in switching over to the newer replacement parts. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Thank you! I followed your directions and now have a non-leaking toilet.

[@macoeur1122]

My hero! Thanks for including all of the little "important notes" for those of us who don't know the first thing about plumbing. Loved that bit of magic at @ 32:30 where the base cleans itself! ....and....just a side note...I have that very same "masterpiece" of behind-the-tank art. Same size...same shape! :)

[@robertto233]

Great video, just installed the same kit in our bathroom and watching your video before hand was so beneficial. Thank you.

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Thanks for the kind comment and watching.

[@katieloumattwho]

THANK YOU! Parts of the instructions that came with the kit made no sense (at least to me). After watching your video I was able to fix my toilet!

[@Hilkka86]

Perfect tutorial for a first time installer. Was so simple to follow and it works likes a dream!

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. I am very glad I could help you. Thanks for watching.

[@guyl8505]

I greatly appreciated the level of detail and that you explained things so clearly. Some videos tend to make assumptions that the audience has a basic understanding of terminology. My first toilet repair was a great success. 😄

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I am very happy to hear you were successful at the repair and that I was able to help. All the best.

[@stacymogle4142]

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this! This is the first time I've ever been able to do any kind of a job that I didn't do it backwards first. Your step by step instructions were so helpful. I'm in FL and I was able to call my Dad in MD and tell him, "I did it by myself!" (well, with a lot of help from a really great youtube video!)

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Your reply and many, many more like it make this video one of my favourite efforts on KZbin. I never know how any video I do is going to go over and it usually surprises me when they do well. I love the responses I get to this video. Thank you very much. All the best.

[@lexgarcia2839]

Richard, like most of us who are DIY’ers. You made our tasks easier with this video. Thanks mate!

[@MrPabloarce]

I am sooo glad I found your video online. Kudos....you are a good TEACHER ...very patient and nice to listen to. I am ready to start my project.

[@richardlloydusa]

Thank you very much for watching and the kind comments. Glad I could help.

[@deanscott3553]

I just watched this video & fixed our toilet 🚽 watching step by step. Thank you 😊 great how to video 👍🏻

[@rizzo316]

Thanks. This was very helpful. You explained things in a way where anyone can understand. And you went back and added text to certain parts of the video to correct yourself or to emphasize something important. Which means you put a lot of effort into making this.

[@drewfontaine2891]

Richard, thanks so much for making this video! Extremely detailed and seriously helpful. I give you a 21-flush salute, good sir.

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. All the best.

[@paparobe.9589]

Awesome video Richard! Excellent instructions. My wife was after me for about 6 months to fix our running toilet. Tried using an adhesive ring under the flapper, no go. Turned out to be the fill valve being cracked at the bottom as well. That kit you suggested did the trick! Thank you. Happy wife happy life!

[@04msharley]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU! First thing I had to do was put food color in the water tank then knew it needed repair when the water in the bowl turned blue (and my water bill was way high!) I'm 61 and the video helped, didn't need to pay a plumber!

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Happy to help you save $$$$. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@danielkonigsberg900]

Thank you- I think I can install the repair kit myself now. I appreciate your step by step approach- clear and easy to follow!

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and the kind comments. You can do it. All the best.

[@bergiecoco]

Thank you so much for this video! It's been great help and I was kind of proud to repair the toilet by myself!

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Congratulations! I am glad to know I could help. Thank you for watching, commenting and the kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

[@delegation5971]

Just bought the exact same toilet repair kit . I can't wait to get started. Very informative and easy to follow. Thank You!

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. I am very glad I could help you. Thanks for watching.

[@kenfurukawa916]

Thank you Richard! Your video was very helpful.

[@apow8883]

Thank you so much Richard. I have an older Mansfield toilet with virtually the same guts as yours. My local hardware store didn't have much of a selection of Mansfield parts, so I took a chance on the Fluidmaster. I watched another video, but it just didn't seem right. Your video was very easy to follow and I'm glad I watched it. My toilet worked the first time I flushed it and dry on the outside! I'm easily frustrated by the in package directions and found your video perfect. Thank you so much!

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Thank you very much for watching and the kind words. All the best.

[@sherylj8881]

Thank you so much. You just saved me $425 which is the price I paid for a well known plumbing company to do the same repair to my upstairs bathroom!

[@201Skully]

Thanks. I used your instructions to take everything apart. Then followed the installation manual.

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Thank your very much for commenting, watching and the kind words. All the best.

[@congamania]

From one Handyman to another, I thought the video was well planned & very detailed & informative. Camera angles were excellent. Good point which you made, Don’t pull chain out from gasket if stuck which most people would have done. I would say this is one of the Better video’s. Anyone should be able to follow your instructions & complete the repair.

[@rosahodge420]

Great instructions...I am performing this on Sunday night because I don;t want a plumber to rip me off for on Monday. .....something I can do with Great difficulty myself. Tank is off and working. This is a great step by step vid. Thanks so much

Thank you so much for this comprehensive video! Took me awhile, but installed it with no problem.

[@michaelsalvador2603]

Thank you!. I had to replace my Mothers tank with the exact kit and made it much easier watching you go though all steps and tips.

[@richardlloydusa]

+Michael Salvador You are most welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@danieli9686]

This video saved my life. I now understand why $20 parts to have installed by a plumber cost so much. Much more of a task than I originally thought. I too got "screwed" with cross threading. Thanks for posting!

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. Thanks for watching and sharing you experience.

[@tomgriffin4331]

Richard, wonderful video! Great use of fast forward, and the small difficulties you had to overcome made for excellent learning. A really terrific video for which I appreciate your help. Nice job!!

[@richardlloydusa]

You are most welcome. I am very happy to know I could help you. Thank you very much for watching and the kind words. All the best.

[@MoffattHeir]

I appreciate this dude. This was a pain in the ass for me, but your thorough instruction was a real life-saver. I ended up having to saw off all my locknuts cuz they were frozen and refused to budge!
