cant get bracket back off toilet seat!!!

[beesley121]

Hi guys,

fitted a toilet yesterday, anyway, seat that came with toilet is a slightly new design, only ever fitted one other of these.

The brackets that go into the holes in the toilet are screwed down and the the toilet seat is just pushed onto the lugs and somehow it doesnt come back off

i think there mustbe some kind of circlip inside

anyway, ive managed to to fit it wrong but cant adjust the brackets as i cant get to the screws that hold them in cos i cant get the actual seat off the bracket. i hope someone understands what i mean!!

there was no instructions with the seat

please help

I think there will be a couple of buttons to press to release somewhere

As eco says, there should be a button on each side which release spring clips. Be careful when pulling them off and make sure the buttons are pushed fully in simultaneously. If you accidently dismantle the mechanism it's a nightmare to get back together.
