Toilet seats come in a range of prices. You should be able to find the cheapest for $20-30, but others that cost twice as much or more.
An adjustable wrench or pliers A flathead screwdriver Spray oil such as WD-40 (optional) A small hacksaw (optional)
If there are no bolt caps, you will just see the bolts themselves attaching the hinges of the seat to the toilet bowl.
If your old seat has washers between the nut and bowl, remove those as well.
If that doesn’t work, place your adjustable wrench on the nut. Hold it in place as you use the screwdriver in your other hand and attempt to turn the bolt out. If the bolts are still stuck, use your small hacksaw to saw them off. Place the blade just under the toilet bowl, at the top of the nut, and gently saw back and forth until you cut the bolt all the way off.
The box will also contain bolts and nuts. It may also include plastic caps to go over the bolts. Set this hardware to the side.
Don’t worry. Since the bolts have a head, they won’t fall all the way through the holes.
Repeat with the other nut on the other side of the toilet. If your hardware includes washers as well, place these on the bolts threads, then put on the nut. If the hinges have plastic caps attached (or if these are included in the box with the new toilet seat), snap these in place by pushing them down on the heads of the bolts once you’re done.
Double-check the instructions that came with your toilet seat if you have this variety.
