BTW, I have American Standard Elongated Toilet.

I’m using the same brand kit as your video. One thing that make me nervous is the fact that this kit seem to come with a rubber gasket that mates the tank to the toilet seat that’s too tall. So basically, the tank does not contact the raised portion of the seat at the front or the back. I did place some of the left over rubber gasket in the back so there’s contact in the back but there’s no contact in the front. I tightened the bolts evenly so the tanks does sit evenly and there’s very little movement. Also, there’s no leak. But this still makes me nervous. I had leaking toilet once and it cost me $$’s to have my home repaired and I really do not want to go through that again. What are your thoughts?

I hope you understand what I’m talking about..but in mean time, I’ll try and look for another brand that “fits” better. Thank you.

Thanks for the comments! Every toilet is different and these kits are “universal”, so you will always have parts left over. The toilet in the video may not have had the washers that might have been in yours. I always follow whatever I take out — basically, copy what was already there. Sometimes you do need those washers to keep from cracking the tank or base, but sometimes you don't.

This was definitely helpful and I decided to tackle this on my own. It did take me about 3 hours as it was my first time and I didn't have an adjustable wrench large enough for the nut on the base of the tank. I have one question about the bolts though. My kit had an extra set of hex nuts and washers that were supposed to go between the tank and the base. I felt like there should have at least been rubber washers between the tank and the base, but your video implies you don't need anything here. What are your thoughts on this?
