Thanks for this video, Mechanically. Quite instructive. But I made it easier with some silicon plumbing grease - for use on rubber gaskets - rubbed it on the porcelain-facing side of the gasket - and that made it quite easy to turn the valve first wiggling and compressing firmly before turning. Not sure if it mattered but i also soaked and squeezed gasket a couple times in advance. ( i would say no need to follow the clamp and freeze solution some comments and other videos recommend.) One other thing - my old valve had broken hooks but Amazon had a new valve set to me in 24 hours.
About the gasket. I watched another installation video and the guy compressed the gasket between two flat pieces using clamps and put that in the freezer overnight. Install the unit immediately after removing the gasket from the freezer. I did this today, before seeing your video, and it was the difference between success and failure for me.
This was a very helpful video for me, I would not have figured out how to remove the black plastic assembly. So, thanks. As you showed, replacing the assembly with a new gasket was a bear. In fact I couldn't do it with my hands alone. So I took a piece of wood stripping about 3' long, 1 1/2 " wide and (the important dimension) 11/16" thick. I worked it down, almost vertical, between the black plastic piece and the back of the tank. I was able to lever the back of the plastic piece to put enough pressure on the gasket to be able to turn the plastic piece into place. Hope this helps someone.
oh boy, just ordered new flapper and gasket, as after 20 or 30 yrs they are starting to disintigrate right there in the water (no added cleaning chemicals, either). I am NOT looking forward to trying to work in the gasket. To make matters worse, we have an extended sink countertop that covers the toilet. There's just enough space to squeeze my head in and look in the tank to see what's going on
We were able to replace this part but when we turned the water on it started leaking. So we tried to turn the water off but now we can't turn it off and we can't stop the leak. I think we are just getting a plumber. Woosaa.
Here is a video that will help in trying to get that flush valve on. It works take a look "what have you got to lose" ! th-cam.com/video/eFIqhY5RLhw/w-d-xo.html
Hey, as I was looking at your videos. I found this one of changing the gasket on your tank of the toilet. But what interests me more, it looks like an alarm that you seem to have underneath the shut-off. Is that an alarm? for leaking water, or is it a mouse deterrent. I would love to get a couple of these, to let me know if we have some kind of leak.

It helps dramatically to put dishwashing soap on it to act as lubricant
soak the gasket in warm water 10-15 min

Fill the tank with hot water. Much easier.

Ok so I don’t see leaks but inside that middle part. That’s where the water chuckles from

Yea this is a commercial system. I have a residential system linked on my Amazon store
