How Do You Remove a Toilet Seat?

Removing a toilet seat usually involves unscrewing it from above, though you might need to loosen stuck components first.

Here's a step-by-step guide based on the reference provided:

1. Locate the Screws: Look for two screws located at the back of the toilet bowl, where the seat is attached. These are usually covered by caps.

2. Lift the Caps:

   • Try to lift the caps covering the screws.
   • If the caps are stuck, you can try heating them up.

3. Apply Heat (If Necessary):

   • Use hot water to heat the silver caps covering the screws. This can help them expand and loosen.
   • Be careful not to use excessive heat that could damage the toilet or the seat.

4. Unscrew the Screws: Once the caps are removed (or loosened), you'll see the screws. Simply undo them to detach the toilet seat.
