Toilet seat woe. Halp!
Can't tighten one of the bolts that holds down the toilet seat hinge. What should be a simple job turns out to be a fucking nightmare.
The crappy plastic fitting it screws in to is spinning in the toilet base. Like a rawl plug that's spinning in a wall.
Toilet manufacturer suggests leavening the whole thing out from the top - like ripping a rawl plug out of a wall. This sounds mad to me. Don't fancy wrecking the toilet base.
Is there a trick to this? You can access the plastic fitting from the bottom of the base - have tried trying to create some drag with a screwdriver halfheartedly but no dice.
