Installing a toilet seat

Note: Illustration A, Illustration B available using   Toilet seat bolts may be hidden under plastic caps (illustration A, click above to view). Pry open each cap. Hold each bolt with a screwdriver, and unscrew the nut with adjustable pliers (illustration B, click above to view). Some nuts have plastic "wings" that make pliers unnecessary.   If the bolts are corroded, apply penetrating oil, wait overnight, then try again. If the bolts still will not budge, cut through them with a hacksaw.   Replace the seat and bolts, then hand tighten the nuts. Align the seat with the bowl and tighten the nuts one-quarter turn.
