I fixed my toilet

[SixFive]

For the life of me, I could not figure out how to remove that handle rod?? I do understand ur explanation either. I did get that black stuff all over too, haha!!

Good job, Clint. You are wrong about changing the whole system. That's the dumbass fix, especially in this instance.

I have the Mansfield style in all three of mine and have had to replace the gasket in all three. You will have to replace it when the handle sticks as the plunger starts to mold itself to the gasket. Even though I have had to do all three toilets, I've only done each once in 5 years.

I still don't understand how you needed a hammer. The handle rod separates from the plunger assembly much easier if u raise the rod a bit and then start to turn the plunger ring away from you (to the right). It's not exactly smooth, but it doesn't need force either.

Did you enjoy getting that black shit all over your hands?

I just ordered this toilet. Should be installed next week.

A toilet where you shit with your pants still on?

I'll pass.

:facepalm:
