Do You Hate Cutting Toilet Bolts? #helpingothers #diy #plumbing

What happens here

Once the bolt is trimmed and the cap is positioned, you may find that the cap still requires significant force to snap into place due to design tolerances. Apply firm, steady downward pressure with your hand directly over the center of the cap. You might need to wiggle or apply sustained force until you hear or feel the cap click securely into its proper position. The video highlights this as a common struggle.

Goal: Securely seat the decorative bolt cap

Oh my gosh. It's the hardest thing for me to pull off for some reason. There's no way that it's not down. No, no. There we go. Man, guess what, Kohler? It's time to revise your caps. Let's make some new caps, dude.
