Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing Your Toilet Seat

Step 1: How to Remove a Toilet Seat

Removing an old toilet seat is your first step. Start by learning how to uninstall a toilet seat:

A. Locate the Fixings: Look at the back of your toilet and find the screws or bolts that hold the seat in place. These are your loo seat fittings.
B. Remove the Screws: Using your screwdriver, unscrew the bolts. If they're covered by plastic caps, gently pry them off first.

 

Step 2: How to Replace a Toilet Seat

Now that you’ve removed the old one, here’s how to attach a toilet seat:

A. Clean the Area: Wipe down the area to ensure your new seat is going into a clean space.
B. Position the New Seat: Align the new Jaquar seat with the holes at the back of the toilet bowl.
C. Secure the Seat: Insert the bolts through the seat and into the holes, then tighten them with your wrench. This is a good time to understand how to tighten a toilet lid properly—snug but not overtight.

 

Step 3: Adjust and Test Your New Seat

Once installed, sit on the seat to check for stability. Adjust if necessary, making sure the seat does not move and is perfectly aligned.
