Not sure whether this post should be here or on the toilet forum, but decided to start here.
I have a Toto Drake II toilet that has a leaking 3 inch flush valve. The PVC/plastic nut that holds the flush valve to the tank is 3.5 inches wide. I am having trouble finding a wrench with a wide enough opening to remove the nut from the bottom of the tank. Of course, I'd rather not destroy the thing by using pliers or a wrench with serrated jaws.
Any solution for your average home owner without purchasing a hard-to-find tool for what is likely a one time use? What would a professional plumber use?
