Removing wall hung pedestal

[Rob876]

I was sent a pic of a wall hung pedestal with a leak from behind the pedestal and was wondering if they are generally fitted with springs or bolts? I don't have a pic but there are no screw covers on pedestal so I guess it's springs. Sorry for lack of pic.

normally bolts on angle brackets well the ones ive come across

Mainly they're screwed through the side or on springs

Screws is obviously much easier to replace the pedestal after sorting out leak, what about replacing on springs?

They just unhook, do whatever you need to and then hook back on.

I have had some on like a cable tie fittings. Sometimes I've had to cut them and get replacement straps. Only came accross them on v&b basins.

I've fitted one on springs that had plastic "things" on the springs which you turned to pull the springs tight. Nifty idea. Obviously you had to turn them the other way to let the tension off which let the pedestal drop enough to unhook the springs.
