One of the tank-to-bowl bolts on one of my toilets has rusted and snapped off on the outside of the tank. I bought a new kit with brass bolts, metal and rubber washers, etc. but want to double-check the order in which you use these things.
Thinking about this from top to bottom, I know I need to use a rubber washer inside the tank; do I need to use a metal washer between the bolt head and the rubber washer?
This kit has 4 rubber washers but doesn't say where the other 2 go -- I 'm assuming on the outside of the tank, followed by a metal washer and hex nut?
Then the bolts go through the holes in the bowl and the tank is actually held to the bowl with the wing nuts provided...
Pls let me know if this is right or wrong -- very poor instructions on the kit...
Thanks
