I’ve got a leaking tank-to-bowl gasket. I’m going to show you how to change these out. What you need is a large screwdriver, and if you have a pair of vice grips, that’ll help quite a bit. You want to turn off your water angle stop. Then if you have a wet/dry vacuum, that’ll make it a lot easier to vacuum out your water from your tank. We’ve got to disconnect the supply line; there might be a little bit of water in here. Then if you have vice grips, what you can do is just clip them onto your nut; this will make it a little bit easier, actually, quite a bit easier. Now we can remove the nut. Sometimes you can turn it at the top, sometimes not. I’m going to go ahead and try. Not the easiest place to get into. If you can’t, what you have to do is hold it with your screwdriver up top and do it down here. These can be pretty stubborn, so I’m getting away pretty easy on this one. I’ve had some where the threads are so stripped and rusted out that I had to take a hacksaw; take the blade off of the hacksaw and stick it in between the tank and bolt, and cut it by hand; takes a little while. Not the funnest job in the world.

Poke your screwing back up through here and remove it. It is a good idea to wear gloves. I forgot gloves; I wish I had brought them, so I’m going to have to spend more time cleaning up. Still, just get it done. Next one is the same thing. This time, I should do it from up here; maybe, maybe not. Hold this down. Got so much calcium deposits built up; just got to keep it from turning. I need a bigger screwdriver. I’ve got a little bit bigger one on Leatherman. Hopefully [inaudible: 04:45]. I’m going to have to do the hacksaw method this time, but [inaudible: 04:55]. Looks like that’s what it’s going to be, though. Oh, my gosh. I can get the nut to turn but it looks like the hacksaw method. If you need to do this method, it’s better to use a hacksaw and take off the blade and do it in between. I’m going to be using a Saws-All today.

What we want to do is protect the tank as much as we can, because there’s a good chance that this will break it if not. This is really not the recommended way. You can try to cushion your tank and bowl as much as possible. In order to get in there, we’re going to have to get in between the tank and bowl right to the bolt. It’s going to be a tough one. Get ready for some noise. We can get rid of our bolts, and again, I should have brought perhaps some gloves. Get rid of my old bolts, the old parts. Lucked out, didn’t crack the tank or anything. We can flip this upside-down. [inaudible: 07:24] pop up the big gasket with a screwdriver. We’ll leave our spacers, just re-position them.

Even thought of making anything else to make of a railroad spike, but a knife, bottle opener or letter opener?
Why not turn them into a useful pair of tongs!?
