How to Replace a Toilet Flush Mechanism with Seized Bolts

How to replace a toilet flush mechanism and remove seized or rusted pan to cistern bolts.
A quick video at one of my rental properties where I am replacing a dual flush mechanism in a close coupled toilet. Watch as I remove the old flush unit and replace with a Fluidmaster PRO550 flush mechanism. I also show how to renew the cistern to pan through bolts and also add a new doughnut washer.

 As always, a couple of issues arose, mainly when trying to remove the cistern to pan bolts - they were rusted solid. I ended up having to use an angle grinder to remove these.

The tenants contacted me to say that it was passing water all the time, so I got round there and fixed it whilst they were away. This is a basic instructional video of how to do it but also a video highlighting the importance of looking after tenants needs. 

 I work in a lot of other properties where landlords just seem to neglect their tenants needs and wander why they have such high turnover of tenants or even void periods. I am different, I REACT very quickly to any issues that my tenants may have and this leads to LONG term tenants who really look after the properties. I hope you enjoy the video.
