I need a plumber!

[suvetty]

I am Suzie..single white female -lol hense why I am here! haha, Not sure how, but I managed to figure out why toilet wouldn't flush...purchased replacement and fitted, very easily too!!! 😀 PROBLEM - hook to attach to handle flush faced the wrong way, to the back of the cistern??? no problem - I thought - take out and put back to face the correct way. I removed - spring SPRANG!!! eek - can it be recovered at all???? and how??? please. Thank you, Suzie x

its gone into the syphon mech

simple mistake that you wont make again lol

?Its a case of taking the syphon out and accessing from beneath

There wil be a plastic nut at the bottom of your cistern (make sure cistern is empty) that you nee to undo to release the syphon then you can push agaist the spring an recover the point to hook on to

Fit up the hook, lever and link before screwing the syphon back to the porcelain.

i have done that a few times, can normally get a finger under the syphon and push it back up, ps, if it was a round syphon you can spin the hooks 🙂

Thats the way, saves taking the siphon out, could be close coupled.

If I am taking the link off I put a pair of mini mole grips on the piston to stop it springing off.
