Re: How to remove toilet cover?

Hello @mark121603 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you joins us, and thanks for sharing your question about your toilet seat.

 

Your toilet seat cover might have a hidden release button. Your third photo shows the hinge of the toilet seat assembly with a small hole on the right-hand side. I propose getting an Allen key that is large enough to slide into the hole and pushing it in. If it is spring loaded the Allen key should move forward which will release the seat lock and allow you to lift the seat at the same time. You'll need to do the same thing for the other side

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hello @mark121603 

 

The last option is to hold both the seat and the cover and forcefully lift the seat and cover upwards to release it. Now a word of warning if it does not work it could damage the seat and hinges. But looking at the options it's the only one that has technically not been tried. I'll leave the decision up to you. 

 

My only other suggestion is to check out the stores Toilet Seat Installation Service
