me and the missus gave it another go today after i filled in the cracks and then painted it, not sure whats wrong with it, we have gone through trying to use so many tools and the only thing thats worked is a head of spanner and no bar on it. just seems a awful design. we tried washer then...

I dont mind trying a few things to see if that work, my main issue is getting to the nut underneath undoing it and tightening up. Ive ordered the one off amazon i can always send that back to them as they are pretty good for things like that. I have the sleeve and the metal washer ...

cant seem to find anyone which will ship next day now, too late. would anyone advise if this would still work https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B084X1BXXR/?coliid=IDC41MPVILMVI&colid=1II1CQ09NNS4U&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

great, the idea of the allen key screw is much better idea than these bolts where there is next to no room to get a tool in there. probably a silly question but how do i know that bolts in my frame are the same size for that fitting

other than that plastic cover over the rubber sleeve there isnt anything else to protect the toilet from cracking but that mustbe enough. I wonder if what you have in that picture would work as the hole in the toilet which the bolt passes through is quite a bit bigger than the bolt

would that fit, looks very different to what we have on there.

sadly we dont know the maker of the frame, its generic we believe. I will have a look at larger washers.. Do you think if it went for a large nylon type washer for where the nut meets the toilet porcelain would be OK?

well I got the toilet off, thanks to everyone so far. Ended up using this type of tool but on its own no bar or anything as there wasnt the room. So its off, ive taken some pictures of the washers, what are these things called to search for, we dont know the make/brand of toilet to check.

thanks, just got the ring spanner so will give it a go.

thankyou, my daughter works at screwfix and still working right now so ordered a set to be brought home.

great thankyou that makes sense. Cant even get a spanner on it. Borrowed a neighbours ratchet spanner in both 17mm and 19mm and too small and big so perhaps 18mm. I guess this might be a job for a plumber now lol

maybe something like this tool...

morning all, is there a specific spanner for this type of installation. I have a socket set and they wont fit the thread to get to the nut. my adjustable spanners seem to big or there isnt alot of room there to move. Also ive arrowed a plastic type washer that looks as if its crooked...

thanks for replying, will give that a go at the weekend.

just found this picture aswell before the plasterboard was done.

evening all, just looking for some advice regarding a wall hanging toilet that a plumber (now retired) fitted for us about 8 yrs ago. Perhaps I've had too many pies and perhaps ive added a few pounds, but I noticed that the plaster around it cracked and there is some movement to it when you...

great thankyou so much

thanks i think thats what the manufacturer has said, sent me a mail saying that '' the pipework is 15mm and the nuts on the valves are 3/4 if it is leaking from the insets of the valve where the pin is we can send you the part out so you dont need to change the valve, if you want we can send...

it the pin in the valve, it moves but leaking from the actual pin, advice on her was try some ptfe tape which i did but it still leaking from the pin iteself. a online radiator company advised i could use a standard angled valve 15,, but i dont understand why the nut is larger and plumber has...

hi all, im looking for some help we have a bisque radiator fitted and its been in for about 12 yeas, it needs a TRV changing because it leaks only when its very cold outside. I bought a angled valve and had a plumber come out today and he said ive had the wrong valve. The plumber said the way...
