This was very clear. Thank you. This not only shows you how to install a seat, but how to take one off (maybe you should make a video about that). I broke the old one off, didn't see the inside slots. The internet can be great. :))

i guess taking the old seat is just the opposite procedure, right....? how do you open the caps, with a flat head?

@TheTwillerZone getting those bolts out are a bitch Jeff. Bit of elbow grease + WD40. - Rod

@TheTwillerZone I hear ya, home repair shit always get worse before it gets better, unless I just say "fuck it" and put a bucket under it.

[TheTwillerZone]

@illustriouschin I got the bolts off with plyers.  It was a bitch.

[illustriouschin]

@TheTwillerZone would it be possible to drill a small hole into the rusty bolt and use a reverse thread tapper or screw extractor on it?

[TheTwillerZone]

you ever deal with rusty screw bolts to pull out on an old toilet seat ? Problem I'm having ...

He's incorrect about the direction of water down the toilet. The Coriolis effect only alters the direction of large air masses across the Earth's surace.(trade winds, storms,etc,), not the way the water flows down the toilet

Yes, it is an urban myth.
