What happens here

Locate the toilet shut-off valve, typically a multi-turn straight stop valve near the base of the toilet. Turn the handle clockwise until the water supply is completely off. Flush the toilet to drain the tank and ensure no water is flowing. Next, open the caps covering the bolts on the back of the toilet seat and use a flathead screwdriver to loosen and remove the bolts and nuts from underneath the toilet, allowing the old seat to be removed.

Goal: Turn off the water supply to the toilet and flush to drain the tank, then proceed to remove the existing toilet seat.

Tools and materials

What they say

dude. All right, so we will go down to the toilet shut off valve. This is a multi-turn straight stop. And you just want to turn clockwise until it shuts off. Give your toilet a flush. Make sure the water's off. Next thing you got to do on this particular toilet is we got to pop these little caps right here. I'll do that with just a little utility knife. All right. It kind of just pulls out and in. And now you could take a flathead screwdriver, loosen the bolts, and remove the nuts from the bottom. And we're just able to pull this whole thing off. Here's a little tip. That disposable cup. Put a little bit of water in it. Now we're ready to mount
