Excellent presentation. Any fear of doing this myself have been flushed away.

[@JenniferMagaly]

I got tired of waiting for my husband to fix our toilet. OMG! you make it so easy to learn. Thank you!

[@timothybaer6552]

As a 42 year old man I say this without a hint of sarcasm: Thanks, dad.

[@moscowremix]

I took the handlebars off my Harley and replaced them with this man’s mustache.

This is the clearest video on how to replace the flush valve and his voice is very calming and relaxing.

[@breannfredrickson8302]

This is so helpful! My dad was a plumber and would normally help me out with all these kinds of things but he passed away last year so I'm trying to navigate these household things myself! He'd be proud that I'm doing it on my own- I appreciate these videos! Off to Lowe's I go!

Interesting. My toilet bolts has be cut off because nuts are beyond rusted and stuck in place.

[@colinmason9301]

As an educator, I appreciate how you went through the process step-by-step and provided clear explanations of each step. Great info, thanks!

[@StuartMcconney]

Good value. Clear succinct and to the point. 80% of the diy video on KZbin should be looking at this video as a benchmark. From one trainer/instructor to another, well done, take a bow.

i had my pump replaced a few years back by a guy i was able to get quickly. All the other plumbers were too busy. he didn't strike me as particularly knowledgeable. He told me he cannot get the flush valve fitting my particular toilet. I am not so sure. Wouldn't those be just standard?? My toilet wasn't made by goblins, it is something out of home dep, but is about 20y old. I am still having that valve cracked. am super annoyed. Ideally we want a new toilet, higher, nicer, fancier but i wonder if i can fix the valve myself, simply with something out of home dep? Are those things indeed different standards or this was bs?

Hi Mr Wakefield, I was so pleased to come across your KZbin segment on how to fix a running toilet! I'm an Aussie lady currently in lockdown due to the Covid virus and couldn't get a plumber to fix the toilet which was running all the time, the only time it didn't was when I turned off the water intake tap so I wasn't wasting water. Being in my 60's now and recently divorced I no longer have my husband to do all the plumbing (!!) so I decided to do some research and fix it myself. And while I was looking on the internet I found your piece! Fifteen minutes after watching, my toilet problem was fixed! So I saved myself a lot of money calling out a plumber and now I feel so self-confident because I did it myself! Thank you so much!

This video was 5 years ago but it still helps people. It helped me. I just lifted the flush valve and clean around it. It stopped the leak. Thank you Mr. Wakefield.

[@mariatejada725]

I am a woman in my 60's and I changed out everything in my bowl thanks to your step by step guidance. You are a God sent! Thanks!

[@gvc1959]

I love the cut away toilet tank. Makes it so easy to see what’s going on

[@carolcantwell4107]

Thank you Roger! Your videos make it easy for a single girl such as myself to feel empowered enough to try these repairs. I appreciate you taking the time to make these videos and explain every step to us lay people!

[@kathyraph2995]

Great instructions. You made it seem less intimidating. I took your advice and replaced both the flush valve and the fill valve - was glad I did! Easy peasy!

[@debbielea6346]

Thank you!! I'm a , 70 year old widow and I think I can do this!!

[@genesssisss]

This instructional video is definitely one of the best I ever seen if not the best, my man goes directly to the point no bullshit around

[@user-wo9ub2bl1q]

Thanks for the videos Roger and easy to understand instructions. My tank has 3 bolts instead of 2 and when the flush valve was turned all the way it was difficult to screw in the 3rd bolt. I resolved this by rotating the flush valve back. Also my bolt replacements came with rubber tapered washers for 2 per bolt along with a metal washer. Took a couple tries to realize I only needed the rubber washers inside the tank and not on both sides. The metal washers I used for the 3 nuts to avoid cracking the porcelain. Because my original bolts and nuts had fused together (replaced with brass plated hardware), it took about 2 hours to saw them off with a metal hacksaw and round handle since this was the only way to access the bolts. As an Information Technology Manager and professional trainer, your video seemed to only handle the "happy path" under ideal conditions and didn't address older or less optimal edge cases. Still Roger , I appreciated your presentation and have subscribed to your channel. Like computer software, you also need to account for the exceptions, and I'd also be interested to know exactly how the fill valve works internally to shut off the water. Seems like the float is restricted to a certain level that somehow stops the flow of water coming into the toilet. Then again that the way geeks are we want to know how everything works.

Your videos are helping my transition from a new construction plumber to a residential service plumber. Thanks for these
