1. Prepare necessary tools: Phillips screwdriver or Allen wrench, new compatible screws (with washers optional), lubricant (such as WD-40) for treating rusty screws.
2. Remove the old seat: Open the toilet seat and locate the screws securing the toilet seat on both sides. Loosen them counterclockwise. If the screws are stuck, spray a small amount of lubricant and wait a few minutes before proceeding. After removing the screws, gently lift the seat to remove it.
3. Inspect and clean the mounting holes: Remove old adhesive and dirt from the holes, ensuring the holes are intact. If the holes are damaged, consider using washers or replacing the entire screw set.
4. Install the new seat: Insert the new screws through the bottom of the seat, aligning them with the toilet seat holes, and tighten clockwise. Use moderate force to prevent ceramic cracking.
5. Test stability: Gently press the seat to check for any wobbling and ensure smooth opening and closing.
6. Post-installation maintenance: Regularly check the tightness of the screws, keep the installation area dry, and extend the service life.
