Step 5 · Reinstall the Toilet Tank
Carefully lift the tank and position it back onto the bowl, meticulously guiding the new bolts through their corresponding holes in the bowl ledge. Once seated, press down gently on the tank to help compress the new gasket. Working from underneath, place the new metal washers and nuts onto the bolts. Hand-tighten the nuts first. Then, using your wrench, tighten the nuts incrementally, alternating between them to ensure even pressure. Tighten until the tank is stable and does not wobble, but do not crank them down with excessive force.
