How would I remove this toilet seat?

[nukkun]

I'm living in a student accommodation and broke the lid. I told maintenance and they said if it it still flushes, they won't be bothered to fix it. So I've been struggling to understand on how to remove it, so I can replace it myself, and watched a few tutorials on YouTube but nothing in those videos are similar to this toilet. I'm not a plumber so please go easy on me lol.
Any help is appreciated!

Looks like an adjustable spanner, open end spanner will be needed. You might (if you can get the size, be able to use a ratchet ring spanner.

No don’t undo the big nuts that holds the toilet onto the wall

The round chrome covers / round shrouds will lift up to exposed a screw (that sit on the toilet)

Apologies, don’t take my advice, I thought they were the seat nuts, obviously not 🤦🏻‍♂️

I can't seem to lift the toilet seat off of the chrome covers. And prying it open doesn't seem to work, they're super tight. I will try and see if I can unscrew the inner metal bits connecting to the seat once I get an L-key.

The stainless shrouds will come off your only other option is to cut it off eg cut the bolt that holds it to the toilet with a hacksaw blade

Step 1. Remove the 2 silver shroud covers that are above the silver pegs coming into the seat hinge. You will need a penknife to prise them off. Slip it between the seat hinge and the silver cover. Once these are off just lift the seat off the silver pegs.

Step 2. Using the penknife again prise the 2 silver shrouds off the porcelain, just get the knife in and work them off. They will reveal a Philips screw which you undo. This will remove the connector pegs from the toilet pan.

Here are the caps on the porcelain and the Phillips screw you need to undo. Sorry I can’t show the other two silver covers as my home seat has a click on mechanism. I will be able to show how to remove those two covers tomorrow when I get to my hotel if you wish.

Yes that would be perfect if you could show me. Thanks!

Hi nukkun
I have made a video just for you, showing how to remove and replace the seat. Any questions just ask. I’m sure you’ll be able to do it once you have a go. Good luck.

Thank you! I will try this when I get the right tools.
