Super easy instruction. Thank you. And my mom yelled at me for not calling the Plummer. I knew I could do it myself. ❤️
Thank you for watching! I’m glad the video was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
This is the best video on the Fluidmaster Universal Fit Toilet Tank Lever. I went through 10 other videos before finding this, which was the only one useful. The problem was I needed the handle to side mount and couldn't get the angle adjusted without breaking it. Would have been 12-15 dollars flushed down the drain if it was not for this video. Thanks.
Thank you for watching and for the compliment, I really appreciate it!
@@5MinuteFixithelp! I have a. SIDE MOUNT handle. This lever was installed previously, but broke. I can't figure out how to turn the arm to form a 90° angle as was previously done.
Sir, as many others have said, you are a lifesaver! The instructions on the package were not clear, and confusing. Your step by step approach saved the day. Thank you so much for posting. I am still flushing the toilet over and over because it works so well!
That’s great! I’m glad you found the video and were able to replace the lever yourself! I appreciate your kind words. I try to make short and to the point videos without any unnecessary commentary. Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!

@@5MinuteFixit please help!!!! I cannot get the Locknut off/apart from the lever mount.
@@bellamia-susiep.3550 did you have any luck? Some others have had issues with this nut and have had to return the tank lever for a replacement.
Thanks for not having background music.
Took me a little while, concerned I would break the lever, but with some patience, I got it done!! Thank You!!

The black mounting piece that enters the hole in the porcelain from the outside of the tank must be inserted with a certain orientation for the lever handle to sit straight.
This must be done before screwing on the lock nut inside the tank.
The mounting piece must be installed with the words 'top' appearing on both the upper left and the upper right sides.
I initially inserted it with a random orientation that was not correct and so the lever drooped at an angle.
Took me a while to figure it out.
The 'top' words are raised black lettering on the black background plastic material so it is easy to miss seeing them.
Unfortunately the manufacturer directions do not make this important information clear.
Thank you for your great video!

Thank you so much! This saved me!!
Thank you so much! You just saved me from freaking out. Lol
Great info, just what I needed ^^
Thank you for pointing this out. I was scratching my head thinking maybe this is just how newer handles are supposed to be positioned lol
Thank you. I broke my handle on my toilet and my handle is on the right side. I bought a different handle which didn't work. This does work and it's thanks to your video.

Thank you! I knew I was doing something wrong, you helped me fix it in second
That’s great I’m glad the video helped! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Darn good flusher if you enjoy replacing yearly when the lever goes bad, and no buying handle by itself
Thank you so much I was afraid I was going to break it. But with your help I was able to fix in less than two minutes.
That’s great! I’m glad you fixed it that quick! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
I had to change the lever my self since I'm a single Mom. I sincerely appreciate this video. Thank you. 💙

Thank you for watching! I’m glad it was helpful!
It helped but I wish there were more videos with different options. Mine is a side flapper and it took me more than 5 minutes because the lever wasn't positioning correctly. Finally got it. Thank you
Much easier than the instrucrions on the back of it. Thank you!

What do you do if the washer want come off so you can put the washer on the other side
Omg I wish there was a response to this because I am having the same exact issue right now
Same. It’s a piece of shit. I’m ready to cut it off and rig the old nut to it.
Just got mine off. Attach the handle back to it so you have something to hold as you turn it with a towel wrapped around the nut.
Im having the same issue!!
I ended up using some heat to melt the damn thing. Worked within a minute.
Thanks for a marvelous video. The instructions were concise & very clear. Plus you covered some things that similar videos did not, for example, first turn off the water supply to toilet. That's important advice that other videos missed, duh.
Thank you bro. My girl wanted to pay for a plumber and you help me go thru with the same product.
That’s great! I’m glad you were able to do it yourself and save some money in the process! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
I had a little trouble due to corner mount. Not enough room for swivel on right. Figured out that turning upside down so swivel on left solved problem. Also putting on knob requires stronger push than I expected. Now works well.
I'm glad you found the way that works best for your toilet. Sometimes those corner mounts can be tricky! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
Thank you for your help!!!! Was able to do myself. My husband will be so proud!!!

Thumbs up provided! Thanks again!
You make it look so easy. Have tried for about an hour to adjust the lever arm and watched your video over and over to figure out how you get it to move. HELP!!!!
Thanks my toilet is working perfectly now thanks to ur video
That's great, I'm glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching a please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!
That looks easy, except for the fact the hand nut will NOT come off of the new fixture. You can't install it until you can get the hand nut off. That thing isn't budging.
Some others have said this same thing and returned theirs and the new one was ok. Maybe manufacturing defect?
I brought it back to Home Depot and took a chance exchanging it for the same model and the new one was fine. However, I still can't get the adjustment exact. The nut is fastened, but the handle is still a bit loose. I tried using the sleeve but that didn't work.
Wow, I’m killing myself here trying to take this thing apart 😂. Your video is so helpful, did it in like 2min. Thanks
That’s great! I’m glad you were able to get it done in 2 minutes! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thank you for demonstrating. I was frustrated but made it easy. And you’re voice is soothing. That makes installations easier and calmed my nerves!
Thank you for watching and for the compliment! Glad you found it helpful!
Seriously, though.....I pay the Calm app 70.00 a year. I wish I found your videos first bc I would be fixing stuff AND listening to your calming voice. That is no joke.
@@porkchop3031 thank you! I appreciate the compliment! Maybe I could start a new video niche!
Great instructions for a front mount. It doesn't fit in my rig.
Thank you so much because of your video I have fixed my toilet thank you once again

The directions on the package were useless, and I was about to pull my hair out. Thank you so much for making this easy-to-follow video!
Yes they generally aren’t very good, I agree! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thank You for making this video. It really helps me.
Thank you! I appreciate you watching and for the kind words! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up as a thank you if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Thanks, not being even close to a handyman, I couldn't have done this using the pkg directions alone.
One suggestion, when placing the lever mount, be careful to have the arrows point up, I didn't and had to take it apart and redo it.
Thank you for watching and for the tip!
This was exactly the video I needed. Thank you for making it so easy to install.

I bought this part, it turned out to not work with our toilet, but anyway, this video was EXCELLENT !
(I watched the video, and then tried the install)
Thanks for watching and for the compliment! Sorry it didn’t work out for your toilet but thank you for watching!
Thanks. Everything you’re doing is in the instructions but I probably would have broken it without your help.
Thank you for watching! Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the video. Didn't fit my use case though.
Bro you deserve all the likes in the world.
Thanks I appreciate it! Thank you for watching and giving the video a thumbs up!
Thanks, my dude...super helpful video...I really appreciate it!
No problem! I’m glad it was helpful!!
I can not get the locknut off the thread, I have turned it both ways, it turns but it just stays in place, HELP! WHAT DO I DO
Is there possibly a clip or pin holding it in place or is the whole unit twisting? That’s the only reason I could see it not coming off.
Excellent product
Thank you so much!!...Great tutorial 💓

Everything is working... but my lever seems to be aiming a bit farther up than yours. It’s a bit weird, anything that could cause this? Like just not putting it on straight or something? Thanks for the video!!!
I’m having the same problem
I'm having trouble loosening the finger nut. You make it look so easy.
A pair of pliers may make it a bit easier to loosen. Thank you for watching! Hopefully you are able to get it free.
Thank you. I will try again.
Bravo! You made my solid flush strong and possible.

Thanks for your tutorial. My problem is that I can't remove the old handle. the finger nut is not moving with channel locks or pliers.
I would just try to break the old handle if you are discarding it anyway, just be careful not to damage your toilet.
Thank you for this amazing tutorial!! 👍🏽🔥😊

My hand nut will not screw off ive tried everything . Should I just buy a new one
Sorry it took me a while to respond, I would say yes unless someone can chime in with any suggestions. It seems that some people have had a tough time with that nut. Thank you for watching.
I sprayed mine with WD-40.
Great video instructions. Question my lever will not raise the flapper I've tried different positions. Any suggestions?
I would try to shorten the chain on the flapper by moving the hook down the chain a bit. Hopefully this helps! Thank you for watching and please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven’t already! Thank you!
Your concise & EZ to understand video was a GREAT tool! Back of Fluidmaster 641 packaging left me in fits of clenching jaws & less than ideal info. You’re Awesome! My question; weird, our flush handle only fits upside down as compared to yours in this video. Ours is a ToTo. Is this normal? Thanks in advance!
Part of “round rotation arm” which can be adjusted….sits butted up next to tall valve. Nothing is caught & movement is free when flushing. Sound ok?
Everything you described sounds ok to me as long as it is working correctly! Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful! Please consider giving the video a thumbs up if you haven't already! Thank you!

great video, watched at least 10 times, but when it comes to putting the handle on, it seems that the arm is not long enough to latch onto the handle. I squeezed, and tried maneuver but it would not click. I installed it like the video and turned around the lugnut, but only works one way. Any suggestions please, Thanks.!!
sorry to hear, I am also having trouble. It is very interesting to see how the people making these videos reply always to the complements and not the people having issues.
@@agustinconti5461 don't hesitate to tell me the problem. I feel sort of like an expert. The guy was great....suggested that it just didn't fit...taped the package up for return. This was my second one...I think I could fix any lever issue... as long as I have the correct part.
Appreciate the help. Saved me lots of time.

Great video. Mine wand seems to need constant adjustment though. Sometimes the ball goes to high and hits the tank cover. Other times it doesn’t go up enough to flush. Any ideas? Thanks.
Thank you so much. I have a working wonderfully toilet again. Happy Thanksgiving. 😊
Thank you for watching I’m glad you have a working toilet again! Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
