Fluid master flush valve removal problem.

[dal5band]

Hi, I went to replace the flush valve in our toilet, it's a Fluid master with cable operation in a concealed cistern. I cannot remove the top bayonet section because the cable inlet is jamming against the overflow tube. Will is go past the overflow tube if I force it a bit or can I remove the cable connector from the valve? Or can I rotate the bayonet the other way ?
Thanks. Dal

Take the cistern off and unscrew?
Maybe that's how it was assembled hence your problem?

Yeh ! It's a back to the wall with built in cistern - I'll buy one see if there is another way.

Some quarter turn to replace. You can't do that.
There is a big nut under the remove. That's what you need to turn.

So you think cistern won't come off

It's a built in concealed cistern.

I'd un build it in then.
One of the most stupid inventions ever. .I could not put up with that having had to remove a section of bedroom wall and in one case remove part of a ground floor ceiling to gain access to this built in stuff.
Jmo. Frustrated tradesmen. Still I charged them for it. Ha.
