Install the New Toilet Handle

What happens here

Take the new toilet handle and insert its shaft through the handle opening on the outside of the toilet tank. From inside the tank, align the handle shaft and thread the mounting nut onto it. Remember that this nut is typically reverse-threaded, so you will turn it counter-clockwise to tighten. Hand-tighten the nut until it is snug; avoid over-tightening to prevent cracking the tank or damaging the handle. Finally, connect the lift rod of the new handle to the toilet's flush mechanism (either a chain or a loop, as shown). Ensure the connection is secure and allows the flapper to lift fully when the handle is pressed.

Goal: Secure the new handle and connect it to the flush mechanism
