How to Replace a Toilet Lid Cover
Step-by-Step Guide: Replacing Your Toilet Lid Cover Made Easy
Replacing a toilet lid cover may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and a little bit of patience, it can be done easily. Here are the step-by-step instructions to replace a toilet lid cover:
Step 1: Remove the Old Lid Cover
The first step is to remove the old lid cover. Lift the lid cover and locate the hinges that hold it in place. You will find two plastic caps covering the screws that hold the hinges in place. Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry off the caps.
Step 2: Unscrew the Hinges
Once you have removed the caps, use a screwdriver to unscrew the hinges from the toilet. Make sure to keep the screws and hinges in a safe place.
Step 3: Measure the Toilet Tank
Before you purchase a new lid cover, measure the dimensions of your toilet tank. This will ensure that you purchase the correct size and shape of the lid cover.
Step 4: Install the New Lid Cover
Once you have purchased the correct size and shape of the lid cover, it’s time to install it. Start by placing the new lid cover on the toilet tank, making sure that it is centered and level.
Step 5: Attach the Hinges
Next, attach the hinges to the new lid cover. Use the screws that you removed earlier to attach the hinges to the toilet tank. Make sure that the screws are tightened securely.
Step 6: Replace the Plastic Caps
Finally, replace the plastic caps that cover the screws on the hinges. Gently push them into place until they snap into position.
Congratulations! You have successfully replaced your toilet lid cover. Not only does it look better, but it also helps to keep your toilet clean and hygienic.
