Is your porcelain throne getting a bit shopworn? If you can change the toilet paper roll, you can replace your toilet seat.
Step 1: Measure
Measure the size of your toilet seat to make sure it’s standard. Note the distance between the two bolts holding the seat in place (located at the top of the toilet seat) as well as the seat’s length and width.
Step 2: Buy your new seat
Buy a toilet seat that will fit your measurements.
Step 3: Remove the old seat
Remove the old seat by unscrewing the two bolts holding it in place. Hold the nut underneath with a pair of pliers as you turn the bolt heads with a screwdriver. There may be plastic caps covering the bolts that you’ll need to pop open.
Tip
If you are having trouble removing corroded bolts from the seat, spray some penetrating oil around the nut and let it sit overnight.
Step 4: Clean the holes
Clean around the holes with baking soda to remove any dirt or rust.
Step 5: Attach the new seat
Attach your new toilet seat by positioning it over the two holes. Re-insert the bolts and tighten the nuts by hand, then hold the nuts in place with pliers and tighten the bolt heads with a screwdriver.
Tip
Be careful — over-tightening the bolts can crack the porcelain.
Step 6: Enjoy
Snap the bolt head covers back in place and take a seat!
Did You Know?
Taipei has a popular restaurant chain called “The Modern Toilet,” which lets customers eat out of miniature plastic toilet bowls while sitting on toilets.

I’m sitting on a toilet right now… and i already knew how to change a toilet seat. What have I become 😂
Random fun fact at the end of the video WTF.
Thank you sooooo much. Have been sitting on half a seat thinking this was sooo difficult to do! my bf didn't have time to I just did this in less than 5 mins!!
Made from molded wood that provides durability and stability. This lid fits perfectly to your standard toilet, you should change your toilet seat every 6 months because of germs and bacteria

I need to do this now, my old seat is past it's use by date and I've got the new seat in the bathroom, behind the bloody door cause there's no room and every time someone goes in there it falls over and scares the hell out of them, anyway, I've looked at my toilet, I've looked at the new seat and lid and now I've watched a video and all 3 looked totally different, I am therefore much more confused than I was to start off with aaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggg heeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllppppppppppp
Thanks! I seriously had no clue how to do this, and the video was simple and straightforward. Very useful.
he said around the nut lol
Ok that last thing freaked me out
What a horrible concept for a restaurant
oh my gosh you saved me the embarrassment of filling out a maintenance request. I unscrewed the seat just fine but couldn't get it back on until I searched your video, their bolts under there, aha! Thanks!
Helpfull. Thx man!
Penetrating oil = WD-40

Too much info at the end.
All the models have holes at same distance over cover & comode.
So after ordering we should not get stuck with cover
Stodoys plans are amazing!
I wanted to help my Auntie replace a new toilet seat but she was not home yet so I just read the instructions on the back not as hard as I thought I cleaned the whole bathroom and the hallway
We’ve been to the Modern Toilet restaurant in Taipei! Cool video!
Thanks, this is quite helpful…..they have a WHAT in Taipei?!
I do love to use penetrating oil. Sometimes it's just so tight and you need a little bit of help, ya know?
You would have to get the size for that commode?
Thanks, I thought this was going to be a hard task. On my way to Home Depot.
You know the lid that covers the toilet seat? Well, I sat on it, and it broke.
1970s American Standard cadet toilet!!!!!
Eating from a toilet bowl while seating on toilets 🤮🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢gross!
that's super easy mines completely different and illogical, the toilet seat doesn't have a two way hole where it's supposed to ðŸ˜
thank you – had no idea how to do this! found the idea very intimidating. I feel more confident giving it a try now.
Thank you! I was clueless to complete in 5 minutes
I replace toilet seats regularly but my toilet seat at home is literally come off but the bolts are rusted and hard to the get to I don't even know how the original owner put them on any advice on how to sort this because I honestly thinking of getting a plumber to remove the toilet just so I can get to it

Easy to install, https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
I did it!!!!!!!!!!
