What happens here
Using a pair of adjustable pliers, disconnect the water supply line from the bottom of the old fill valve. Then, use the pliers to loosen and remove the large plastic mounting nut that secures the old fill valve to the bottom of the toilet tank. Once the nut is removed, the entire old fill valve assembly can be pulled up and out of the tank.
