Your toilet handle break like this? Don't worry about it. I got you. Let's get after it. First off, remove this nut. But, here's the weird part. Most toilet handles are reverse thread. Sometimes you need a pair of pliers. I'm just loosening that up. So, once you got that off of there, pull the handle out. I'm going to drain the water out of the tank so I can access this loop. Next, we're going to take our new handle, put it through here, and line it up. Now, there's many different styles of toilets. You can either have a chain or you can have like this loop like this. Pull that line out, pull this cap off. I'm going to take our nut that secures the handle, drop it on. Remember, it's reverse threads. Make sure that's hand tight. You don't got to be too crazy with it. Now, we can pull this up, slip that through, drop it back down. Take our cap, tighten it. Push your line back. Let's test it out. Boom. Perfect. Anyways, I got crap to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
