How to fit Pressalit Magnum Toilet Seat Hinge Clamp Bushes A7222

[Mikeuk]

Hello,
I need to replace the Pressalit Magnum Toilet Seat Hinge Clamp Bushes A7222 on our toilet seat. I have successfully removed the first of the old bushes but cannot manage to insert the new one. I have tried lubricating it with washing up liquid but with no success. I would appreciate it if anyone has experience on how this is best achieved.

Looking at the tapered end being somewhat larger than the main body I would say with a small mallet.

Thanks for the thought. I tried tapping it in but being plastic it starts to deform the body section rather than slip into place.

Maybe watch the mounting video (I haven`t).

Thanks. 23 videos but not one showing how to fit A7222 bushes. Searching the internet it would appear that these bushes are fitted to a number of different Pressalit seats but nowhere does there appear to be instructions for fitting them. I have tried warming the bush to soften the plastic but that didn't work.

Are you sure you have the correct bush for your seat? There are several types:

I had another look at one of the Pressalit videos which was not the same hinges but similar to what I have. I decided to completely take the hinges apart and reassemble them as if it was a new seat. I am pleased to say that worked.
Thanks rpm and Chuck for your responses.
