How do i remove these Caroma Concorde cistern parts?

[Suze23]

Hello, I am having a problem with a running toilet (Caroma Concorde 6-3). It is making a hissing noise pretty much all day long. I have spent a couple of hours googling but have not been able to find any videos of the same cistern. The noise is coming from the blue arm (see photo). I emptied the cistern, and when it refilled, the arm engaged, but I think when the water level is dropping, the arm is disengaging and causing the noise. I'd like to buy some replacement parts but don't know how to remove the parts first. Can anyone help?

Thank you Mitchell! So glad to be fixed! The noise was driving me Coo Coo. Cheers!!

Hi Mitchell

I have exactly this Caroma Concorde Cistern - and replaced the valve but this did not fix the problem. 

As per this discussion my issue is the OUTLET valve is seeping very slowly - so the water level drops gradually and triggers the

water inlet to fill the cistern every hour or so.   I did what you suggested - and yes - with water inlet turned off the cistern water level

keeps dropping down slowly.

My question is - how do I remove the centre water outlet part - so I can get to the underside and change the rubber that seals the outlet...

My centre part is exactly the same as the picture from @Suze23 at the start of this discussion 

Thanks

Hello @Anthony007 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us.

I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - Solved: Installation of dual flush valve in Caroma cistern - Page 2 by @Pwsingh. There is a general description of how the flushing mechanism can be unhooked. I've also placed an image below to give you another general idea of how the flushing mechanism can be removed from cistern as well. 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thanks Eric

My Caroma cistern is an old model called Concorde - the outlet valve frame actually joins the back and front of the Caroma Concorde front and back frame. So the outlet valve frame is NOT free standing as per your picture.

Here is a top photo of my outlet value.  It the photo from the first post in this discussion from  @Suze23

Hello @Anthony007 

Would it be possible for you post a photo of your flushing mechanism with the ends revealed? I believe that the connecting mechanisms are at the ends, but I would need to see it to verify.
