Great video. Thanks for sharing with us. One quick question, the water in my toilet tank does not stop and keeps flushing, is this the lever issue?

[HomeAdditionPlus]

Possibly, however I would also take a close look at the flapper. Sometimes the flapper will not close properly and water will leak around it into the toilet bowl. Sometimes the flapper just gets worn out and other times there could be an obstruction, e.g. the build up of sediment in the toilet tannk.

GREAT video! Your active showing of the steps gave me DIY confidence, which I did not get from just reading directions on the package for the replacement part. I'm thrilled you helped me save tons of money & time over paying a plumber to do this repair. Plus, your help gave me pride of being self-reliant, too. Thanks sooo much!

A Harriet Homeowner I am not. I don't do tools; but after watching this video, I went to the hardware store, purchased the right hardware (lever) without asking for assistance, came home, found the right wrench, turned the water off (had NO idea I was supposed to do this); and replaced my very first plumbing fixture. Ever. I AM SO EXCITED!!!! Thank you Mark for showing me how I can fix my own (as Archie Bunker would say . . .) terlit. Bobbie

Thank you SO much for this video. I was afraid I'd need a plumber, but you made it perfectly clear, and I just ran out and bought parts I needed and it's done! I even added a new flapper (since the toilet has been running when missing jiggles for a long time -- perhaps all the jingling is what broke the original plastic lever). Had to reduce the new chain by a few links to make it work with the lid on, but it's done. I feel accomplished, thanks to you.
