Re: Replace Corroded Toilet Tank Bolt?

In response to Re: Replace Corroded Toilet Tank Bolt?
Both bolts are very corroded. They don't have screw slots on top, and the fastening nuts on the outside are also badly rusted. So far, I haven't been able to remove them. Any suggestions? Thanks, Andrea : Get new bolts and center gasket and remove the tank from the bowl and replace all of them. : : I have an older Briggs toilet that is apparently leaking from a corroded tank bolt (slow rusty drip coming from location of rusted bolt). Can I easily replace this bolt myself without having to remove the tank and replace the ring? Also, are the tank bolts standard sized? : : Thanks, : : Andrea
