  • you just saved my house from flooding

    

  • You sir, are an f'ing superstar. I went one step further and used canned-air to blow out any grit that I'd missed with a q-tip and voilà, she is fixed.

    You saved me a trip to the store and unneeded parts. You are awesome.

  • Wow thanks to you i fixed my toilet!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ROCK

  • thank u,,,,,i am a woman but i was able to fix my toilet from running water since there is no guy in my apartment to fix y

  • Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had no idea what to do with the 'new' insides. My Water Dept. replaced my meter today and all of a sudden the toilet won't shut off. Makes sense - I guess some grit was dislodged and ended up in that part. Anyway your video was just what I needed! Thanks again.

  • thank you for this video, was precisely what I needed. Awesome work guys!

  • thanks for posting...this did the trick for me!

  • only problem i have with my toilet is i don't know how to fix mine cause ever since we bought a flush valve all its been doing is turning off where the toilet wont refill half the time unless you press the handle and i haven't been able to find how to fix it on the internet

  • This was an amazing helpful video. I followed your tips and fixed the problem in less than five minutes. Thank you so much!

  • I'm a complete plumbing novice. Without your explanation as to how to lift and turn the arm to get that off I'd have been calling the plumber. Mine was a bit of a struggle and I ended up taking the whole unit out first as that came away easier than the top.

    I think once you know what you need to do (thanks to videos like this) it gives you confidence as to how much pressure you can apply to make it move without breaking it.

    10 minutes later it is still silent - bliss.

    Thank you!!!!!
