How to replace a toilet handle flush lever - How to replace a cistern lever handle

does anyone know how to fix a situation where the water in the toilet flush 'bowl' doesnt stop and it goes to the overflow pipe? its happening because when the 'big balloon' goes up with water the thing its supposed to 'touch' to stop water flow from the mains isnt working i think if i was to pad it so the gap between the two is less might help.. a video would help - sorry but i dont know the proper terms

haha! good video... - :)

Great stuff. Really helpful

Thanks so much! Just fixed on ours on within an hour of collecting. Really easy to follow :)

Thanks alot 😃 I did it! I did it.. Feeling like a plumber now.

Great! Thank you for this video. Please where does B& Q stock the handle ?

Am a single mom just learnt something new

Thank you! Worked a treat 🙂

On the bit where the nut fixes the rod,I've got a (sodding) metal pin that goes through the rod,fixing it in place , which is rusted solid(so I can't move the nut off) . Should I just try snapping the ends off the pin* , so it's as flush to the rod as possible,and then see if I can coax the nut over ?
*it's so close to the nut I might just have to file it 😬

Nice one mate

Once I watch the video it was very easy job to do afterwards

Hi, got a dilemma with bath/shower fawcett. To run the bath the water mixes fine. If I were to use the shower the water only comes out increasingly 🔥. How do I fix this. Wanting to put on new thermostatic fawcett. In place.

Well gonna pay a visit to plumbing supply store in the morning. Lil wanders broke the handle.

Why do you keep telling me about completely unrelated videos? I am trying to watch your video on a flush and you keep ranting about your other complete irrelevent videos...?

Just replaced my flush handle. With your help it was so easy. 😃 Big thanks for making it so easy. 👍🏻😃

How do you trim the metal bar inside if thats to long

Fantastic simple clear video

Came over from Shoestring Jane.

cheers

Cheers helped me out big time

Brilliant

thanks very much boss

I thought I had the same issue but when I checked the cistern, it looked as if the pump was not working properly. I could still flush the toilet but had to push the lever several times for the toilet to flush.

Are you a plumber? I think not, because you give clear directions ;-)

thankyou for this!!

Thanks for this. The metal arm on my lever snapped this afternoon. Lots of calcium build up on the metal, I live in a hard water area. Got to go out and buy the right sized lever handle. Will try to fix myself - and save some dosh on a plumber! Hopefully!

Informative video and you're a funny guy 😀

cheers mate took 5 minutes to do after watching, much appreciated.

Thank you for showing this, as mine needs doing and I did not know what to do. I am a Woman after all. lol.

Thank you for the guide

I managed to somehow remove the metal link from the white plastic pillar which pulls up , abyone how how to reconnect the link to the white pillar???? It’s moved down and I can’t grab it

Thank you, you made it clear and no problem.

Thanks for this! What do I do if I've dropped the needle?

the " hook " is called the " C link " throw the plastic lever in the bin, they are crap, use a
" BRASS CISTERN LEVER ARM LIFT / LEVER ARM FOR TOILET SYPHON / LINKS FLUSH, " other wise you will end up with same problem ,and use a brass or an " A4 stainless steel round head or cheese head set screw, unless you ra plumber who wants to come back later, to do this again, and again.

The bottom of the metal hook came loose and I can't see how to put it back on? Has the plunger it was attached to dropped down too far? How do I get it back up?

I had to replace my toilet handle and this video certainly helped. Thanks ever so much for your video! Super useful!

Aww bless you, easy peasy, proper blokey/dad talk as well haha video was amusing 🙌🏽
