Have you
ever tried to remove the dual flush toilet cistern lid removal? Do you
experience difficulty in removing the cistern lid of the toilet? It is found
that older ceramic cisterns are closely coupled to the pan or placed just above
it, which easily lifts off. In some cases, plastic cisterns have some screws
around the edge of the lid that holds on, which requires effort in lid removal.
In case of
Dual flush toilet cisterns like Armitage Shanks, the lid is held in right place
by the push button mechanism, which is mounted through a hole in lid. In this
post, you will find great tips to remove a cistern lid removal for dual flush
toilet.
Process of Cistern Lid Removal:
To remove
the lid of Armitage Shanks dual flush toilet cistern, first two buttons have to
be removed by pulling them out from their socket. Both flush buttons have a
fingernail notch on the side. You need to push one button down all the way (the
toilet will flush), then dig your nail into notch of the other button to pull
it out. You will find the button will click out of position and can be easily
removed from the socket. These flush buttons have a long and thin spindle of
plastic attached which reaches down to operate the real buttons inside the
cistern. So, be careful in handling these buttons and do not break them.
After
removing the flush buttons, you can find a plastic screw in the socket, which
holds the lid. Using a wide bladed screwdriver, you can loosen up the screw and
take it out. The button of the socket mounted through cistern lid has no thread
in screw hole. After the screw is removed then the cistern lid will easily lift
off and button socket can be removed from the lid by pushing it out from
underneath.
