Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Sep 19, 2021 8:40 pm Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove these toilet seat hinges, they bolts won't turn and just turn the entire hinge in its hole if that makes sense, they need to come off so I can pack out the holes to stop the seat shifting so much, the seat is about 25 years old and a plumber who was here on an unrelated job would not touch it. I am thinking at this point they may have to be cut off and if so is there anything similar on the market still. Any help is appreciated Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Pressalit 2000 Toilet Seat 2Sep 20, 2021 7:43 pm riverter90 Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove these toilet seat hinges, they bolts won't turn and just turn the entire hinge in its hole if that makes sense, they need to come off so I can pack out the holes to stop the seat shifting so much, the seat is about 25 years old and a plumber who was here on an unrelated job would not touch it.

Try giving it a good spray with CRC or similar, leave it for 30 minutes then spray it again. You will need to hold the top hinge part so it doesn't turn and then get a spanner on the nut underneath and undo it. Once it starts moving you will be ok. Any new toilet seat will for the holes even if you do have to cut it off.

A deep socket wrench would work. The tool shown is obviously just a cheap little tool the supply.
