Replacing a Toilet Arm

This isn’t the most exciting topic that Peter and I have ever talked about, but its good to know. A couple of weeks ago our downstairs toilet was having trouble. We (Peter) opened the top to figure out what was going on and figured out that our hard water had eaten through the arm on the toilet.

(Look at all that dust!)

With a few quick steps we had a brand new working toilet arm. All we did was attach the new chain to the rubber suction like this:

Then bring the new arm through the hole where the flusher goes.

Finally, attach the chain from the rubber suction to the end of the new toilet arm.

There you have it. Make sure that when you attach the chain that it isn’t too tight where the rubber suction never closes or that it isn’t too loose so it doesn’t flush it all.

Have you completed any useful but boring projects lately?
