    New toilet and the tank is still rocking

    Looking at it, the right front of the tank is touching barely, back is not even close. Left front has less than 1/4 of an inch to go on the front, but will not crank down anymore, like it has hit the end of the threads. I had the wife push down while I tightened, which did help, but only so...

    New toilet and the tank is still rocking

    OK, so now I have a new problem. First off this is a totally separate set of instructions than what came with mine. They did not show the screwdriver diagram or the suggestion to use one. The reason is probably because my tool does not have the holes for leverage. But this makes perfect...

    New toilet and the tank is still rocking

    Good question, but no. It is too big for even my biggest screwdriver. Basically it is a hollow triangular shaped tube that has a bolt head fitting at the top and flares out to about an inch on each side from there. It would be great if the bolts could be tightened with a ratchet, but the...

    New toilet and the tank is still rocking

    Does the toilet REALLY need tightened?

    Thanks Terry for the reply. After Googling the problem, it brought me back to a post on here. I figured out the rock was front to back and found a reply you had given earlier to someone else with this problem and suggested using the plastic shims. Fixed it right up. I appreciate the response...

    Does the toilet REALLY need tightened?

    Why did you even bother responding to this? You did not even address my question. I have made my response to the seller which for the purpose of this post is not relevant and they have accepted. So I don't need to have it done by a licensed plumber.

    Does the toilet REALLY need tightened?

    Hello: I am currently selling my house. The inspector came this week and one of the things he stated to the prospective buyers, is that the toilets needed tightened down. They in turn want it fixed by a licensed plumber. I went in to check both of them. I have never had any issues with...
