Out of all the things that you need to take care of as a homeowner, fixing a toilet handle might not be very high up on the list, but it is a very simple job that you easily could take care of in a short amount of time. If your toilet handle isn’t working correctly or if it is a little bit loose, there is no reason not to take the time to care for it.
If you open up the tank of your toilet, you will see what a simple mechanism it is. The toilet handle is attached to an arm, which connects to a chain which in turn connects to the flapper that opens up the drain for the water.
To replace the handle, you will first need to disconnect the chain. Once that is loose, you can easily remove the handle by loosening the nut that is holding it in place.
When you put the new handle on, you should make sure that the chain is the correct length to function with the flapper. If not, you can easily adjust it.
