Additionally, you can go ahead and remove the seat. But if the bolts are stubborn and cannot be unfastened, you should proceed with this step.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5404 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-11.jpg\" alt=\"How to loosen metal on metal\" width=\"760\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-11.jpg 760w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-11-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-11-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-11-600x371.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-11-696x430.jpg 696w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-11-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-11-712x440.jpg 712w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have any corroded metal parts, use penetrating oil to lubricate them. <strong>One of the most popular lubricates used is WD40.<\/strong> Spray this substance on rusty bolts and nuts. <strong>Give them 5 to 10 minutes<\/strong> so that the lubricating oil can seep through the bolts and nuts&#8217; tiny spaces.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 5: Secure the toilet seat with tape<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike removing a seat without stubborn stains, you may be forced to tape your seat if the bolts are stubborn. This helps to keep the seat secure and safe. <strong>If the bolts are incredibly stubborn, you may have to cover the seat with cover material and tape it.<\/strong> You will be protecting the plastic seat and porcelain from being damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 6: Remove the bolt with a socket set<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An old damaged toilet seat can cause some problems while <a href=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/how-to-clean-a-toilet\/\" target=\"_blank\">cleaning the toilet<\/a>. When you\u2019re done covering and protecting the seat, you can proceed to unfasten the bolts. <strong>You can easily fit the socket set wrench onto the nuts holding the bolts in place.<\/strong> However, if your bolts are tricky to access, you may need a deep socket set to access them.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5406 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-12.jpg\" alt=\"bolt extractor socket set\" width=\"760\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-12.jpg 760w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-12-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-12-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-12-600x371.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-12-696x430.jpg 696w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-12-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-12-712x440.jpg 712w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>After fitting the socket on the bolt, turn it counterclockwise firmly to loosen the nut.<\/strong> Use moderate force to unfasten the bolts. <strong>But if they are stubborn, add slight pressure on your wrench for short intervals.<\/strong> Repeat this until the bolts loosen. If the bolt is loosened, you should go ahead and loosen the nut and remove the seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 7: Cut through the secured hardware<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>If the bolts and nuts refuse to loosen even after applying a lubricant, you should use a hacksaw to cut them off. T<\/strong>o cut the bolts without damaging your porcelain, you need to do it with something like a putty knife on the head of a bolt. Next, you can now cut away the bolts holding your toilet seat using a hacksaw.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5407 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-13.jpg\" alt=\"cut through the secured hardware\" width=\"760\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-13.jpg 760w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-13-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-13-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-13-600x371.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-13-696x430.jpg 696w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-13-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-13-712x440.jpg 712w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related article: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/how-to-adjust-toilet-float\/\" target=\"_blank\">Adjust The Correct Float level with ball &amp; cylinder float<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An ordinary hacksaw will do a great job cutting through the stubborn bolts, but you will have to use a mini hacksaw to cut the hardware as it fits entirely correctly.

Wear safety glasses and, if possible, gloves.<strong> Next, put a thin drill bit into your drill and drill into the bolt with a firm, constant pressure where the nut and bolt meet.<\/strong> Continue drilling through the nut and change to larger drill bits as the hole widens. Please get rid of the nut when it becomes loose.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5408 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-14.jpg\" alt=\"How to Drill Through Ceramic Toilets\" width=\"760\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-14.jpg 760w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-14-300x186.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-14-150x93.jpg 150w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-14-600x371.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-14-696x430.jpg 696w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-14-356x220.jpg 356w, https:\/\/bestflushingtoilet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/How-to-Replace-a-Toilet-Fill-Valve-14-712x440.jpg 712w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use pliers to remove the drilled bolt and nut.
