Toilet seats are easy to replace or repair.

Lower the seat cover and pop up the screw covers at the back and remove the two screws that hold the seat to the bowl.

Lower your new seat in place, careful to align the holes.

Insert the new screws with the nuts on the bottom (bowl side) and tighten with a screwdriver on the top side and a small wrench on the bottom.

Done.
