hello my friends today i want to show you how to fix your toilet but when you need to do work
back here um you really need to get rid of the water so first is you want to turn your water off
and you need to remove your lid and flush it just like so go ahead and turn the water off like this
you may want to have a towel down or something just in case so i turn the water off
and you just want to go ahead and flush it and get the water out as much as possible
and then you want to take the lid off let's get to work all right my friends i want to go ahead
and replace the fill valve on the toilet i went ahead and turned the water off and i want to go
ahead and unscrew this now i have a little thing here to catch there's um there might be some um
some stuff it falls out so yeah just some stuff so when i might want to go ahead and catch it i
actually have like a towel in addition to that um and then there's even though i drained i flushed
it to drain it and i turned the water off there's still going to probably be a little bit of water
in the bottom of the toilet so basically you come over here um if you look inside the toilet
i want to replace this right here see this is more of a looks like an old school thing
so i want to replace this i'm not going to probably replace this part at the moment
um i might do a video showing you how to replace this part but first i want to get
this out of here and replace it with a newer technology so basically here we go let's go ahead
and i have this right here i need to come under here and um
if you see a bald spot on my head i i don't know where it
came from it just appeared out of thin hair
tell me if you caught my jaw okay this should i'm probably gonna need this to turn it
you might get it back a little bit okay and i just need to grab onto it and turn it like so
now when i pull this out
i start to turn it and then
okay okay take this off um okay so i've got it mostly unscrewed go ahead and unscrew this
and then i want to pull up and watch what happens and there's gonna be some water that comes out
okay now one way to do this is it could have had like a sponge or something um a towel a shop back
to gotten that water out so this is what it looks like okay i'm gonna put that on right here so
that's what that looks like so let's go ahead and get rid of this now i want to show you something
here watch out um i want to install this but you got to basically make sure that this water level
is you have to have it just right with um this you don't want it too high or too low so
i want to go ahead and show you how to install it but you might have to do some finagling just
to get it just right at raising it and lowering it your toilet might be different so i want to go
ahead and install it and kind of get it closed but it might i might have to do some finagling there's
like the water level line and it might take some some finagling to get it just about right
okay what what is finagling finagling you might like flush the toilet see if it runs all the
stuff so yeah so i have this right here and this is going to basically screw on i want to screw
it on until it's tight then i want to take um a tool and then do it like a quarter of a turn
so let's go ahead and stick it on right here okay just like so and go ahead
didn't that was not to a good start really was not too good start this side up
okay sometimes things like reverse threading but i don't think this is one of them
okay so here we go this is not super difficult it might take you a little while to get it just right
um as far as this being just the right level because um right here now this is one thing i
want to go ahead and talk to you about so this right here gets connected into here
this tube and then this goes like so now you may be thinking you know that doesn't make any sense
it's too long and you know i'm glad you brought that up because i got to trim it okay so well
actually yeah i got i got to go ahead and like trim it up but um anyways just so you know your
toilet may be different i want to see how easy this comes on i might have to put it in hot water
okay i'm gonna go ahead and put this in hot water and um let this heat up a little bit and it should
slide on here a lot easier all right so here we go i went ahead and like warmed this up in water
so it should be a little bit better we go ahead and give it a little trim um
hopefully it's in the right spot all right here we go and let's go ahead and hook that up now i
can i went ahead and did a little bit long just in case and it looks like i did a little bit too long
so if it cools down i might have to heat up the water again
let's go ahead and do this and push it on there um
okay i might have to trim that slightly more this kind of helps divert like how much water
to the bowl how much water to the tank so um just so you know now with this part right here
this was supposed to be tightened down all the way down pretty much as tight as you could get
it like with the hand and then once you have it down you bit watch out you move come in here
you basically tighten it out about a quarter turn um you don't want to do too much
when everything starts to break while i'm
doing this then that's probably a good sign of doing it too much
if you're leaking water you probably didn't do it enough all right my friends that's about it
um it's installed this there's like a little line right here
it's supposed to be within about a half an inch below the top of the flush valve
um of the overflow level so this right here and this within about like a half an inch or so um
so i might have to adjust it slightly but that's pretty good that's how you do it my friends
i might have another video i'm replacing this and how to do it but it's super easy and one
hand have a video showing how to stop each other from running so thank you all so much for watching
