I found a prybar to be the best bet. If you are very patient, you might be able to pry them off without breaking them using a large screwdriver or a small prybar. Both of mine snapped. However, your local hardware store may carry them or you might be able to order them from an online retailer like McMaster Carr. The shaft size is 5/8. Since my shaft ends were already drilled, I was able to use a thick cotter pin and a washer as a substitute for the pushnut.

YouTube it. There are a few videos that do a good job of explaining it and showing you what to do and not to do. But basically you just remove the screws, clean them real well using rubbing alcohol, then once they've dried you apply just a little Loctite(Blue, 242) to the sides of the screw using a q tip. Then you just let it sit for like a day and your ready to party. I went from tightening mine at least 9 times a day to not having to tighten it for the past 3 months and still going strong. Hope this helped

There is a plate covering the screws. You pull off the plate, screw it in and replace the cover plate. Quite simple.

Probably needs to be returned. I didn't have this problem. If can't return, I guess you could drill the heads off of the screws and use a vice grips to turn the threaded part out, then replace the screws with suitable hardware store replacements.

The black thing on the end screws right on the dremel. you need to take off the end of the dremel tool as for the saw you have to use your own tools to replace it.

The brass screws are attached to metal fins which rotate to. fit under the lip in the hole of the toilet.If u are removing the old ones, you just have to loosen them, then reach in the hole to rotate rhe metal plates inward toward the center to allow the old valve to lift off. On the new valve u will pre attach the brass screws and metal plates loosley prior to installing it....keep the fins inwars unril u posirion it in the bowl, then rotate rhe fins under the lip and hand tighten.

On the back there should be plastic pieces that clip together. Hold each side and slide them towards each other they should come off.

I did not try to take the blades off. I think it's probably not safe to. On the new assembly that I got, there is no screw or nut.

Richard did you ever find a way to replace the black plastic tip? I have the same problem and don't know who the manufacturer is to contact them.

No, You can not. They have their own a special tool for the screws. I tried to take my old one apart and could not.

I just broke the packaging and removed the small parts from the socket ends by tapping a screwdriver through the socket. I can't imagine why they were packaged that way.

Just pull them apart. Put a finger in both holes and then just pull hard. The smaller ones are harder than the big ones.

Have you tried turning screw and placing a small flat-head to pry it open? I hope this helps. I haven't actually had to replace them yet. Let me know how it works

If you choose the right one for your screw, I believe you can Remove any. I have no problems until now, but only had 2 hard ones, choose the driver wisely, keep pressure dawn to the screw and slowly turn.. Voilá!!

No mounting hardware provided on mine. The holes are predrilled, but no screws provided. Also, only one of the boards is mounted-- the other one is just included, with some loose screws. And the finish is chipped and banged up, and the holes to hold the darts are missing. QC is nonexistent.
