Easiest thing in the world. There is one screw on either side of the lid covered by the plastic covers you're seeing on top. Take a flathead screwdriver and pop the caps, remove the screws (there is a plastic nut holding on the underside...you shouldn't need a pair of pliers to hold them, but you may). Put on new seat and use the screws and nuts that come with it. Takes like 3 minutes. I'd get a wood seat instead of the cheap plastic ones, but that's just me.

Do not overtighten the new screws/bolts or nuts. You could crack the toilet (my Dad did that once). Hand tighten only.

A lot of the newer seats have "snap off" bolts that are designed to snap off when tightening the nuts. LSS is correct, this is an easy to do replacement. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2023/03/full-1606-174138-fasfsdfff.jpg)

I had to double check my calendar, yep 3/01 not 4/01. Very easy job as long as you heed the warning about over tightening.

It took longer to read this post than it would to change the toilet seat…
