Every toilet seat I have ever seen has an large Phillips head on the top of the seat hinge under a cap. This one she decided we had to have metal hinges. So it has a stud to screw into the hinge, and plastic clip, then a long nut that clamps it from the bottom. It sure is fun to lay on the floor looking up, trying to start a plastic nut with no real room to maneuver. And of course our bowl has a shape that makes getting a socket on it impossible. So 1/4 turn at a time with an open end 13 mm. The other side was easy, the socket goes on and zip it is done.

That chore is done.

Could have been worse. It might have needed the dreaded missing 10mm wrench or socket.
