I was able to remove the plastic bolt thing on the outside bottom of the tank. I did think of cutting it in half with a saw but I actually tried one last time and tapped it very gently with a hammer and a screwdriver and was able to loosen it.

I replaced all of the guts and the toilet is working fine now, no leaking.

I guess I am once again....... wait for it...... yep..... "flush"!

Thank you everyone for your kind suggestions and for taking the time to reply to my desperate thread.

I guess I'll be back again when I get to the "crappier" part of my re-model.

I didn't want to start a new thread, but I have a Briggs 4930 tank, sawed off the 2 brass bolts since I am replacing
everything inside. I am aware that this tank is obsolete so I would like to know if this tank to bowl assembly
kit will fit, thanks.

Edit:"For American Standard", guess I have to try some local plumbing supply places.

Those are pretty generic parts. You should be okay.
You will find out soon enough though. It either holds or it doesn't. Most standard tank rebuild kits work on almost anything.

I replaced my Briggs 4930 tank parts with standard Fluidmaster toilet tank complete repair kit found at any big box / hardware store. If you have a bad part, I have found it wise to just replace the whole thing. The kits are pretty cheap and built to work together.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
