What happens here
Carefully lift the tank and position it back onto the toilet bowl, aligning the tank bolts with the holes in the bowl. Once seated, place the new nuts and washers onto the tank bolts from underneath the toilet bowl. Hand-tighten all three nuts first, then use a socket wrench to tighten them evenly, alternating between each bolt to ensure the tank settles properly and prevents stress on the porcelain. Check for levelness with a small level tool to ensure the tank is sitting straight.
Goal: Securely attach the tank to the toilet bowl.
