This toilet seat anchor kit was exactly what I needed to fix my toilet seat securely. The parts fit perfectly, and installation was straightforward. It’s a genuine Kohler part, so the quality is reliable, and everything feels sturdy once installed.That said, I do think it’s a bit pricey for what it is. But if you need a solid, no-hassle fix, it definitely gets the job done!

Although I hate proprietary stuff, these work really well anchoring the toilet seat.

Does the job perfectly for its purpose.I read many reviews saying this kit is outrageously expensive for what it does.When buying expensive cars, parts are expensive.Kohler toilets are not cheap (the model I have cost over $1,000), therefore it somewhat stands to reason that their parts are expensive.

The anchors are great. Installation is a bit tricky. I tried other anchor options on my Rialto one piece toilet and no one worked/well. The price on this anchors are elevated for my taste but if you are looking for something to fit well the kohler one piece toilet this may be it. So, price and been the only option frustrate me, but the anchors work well. Piece of advice: on installation, there is something important to mention otherwise you will think these anchors wont work... once you have introduced your anchor with the washers and bolt in in the toilet holes, they feel loose, even when they are all the way in, you may think the hole is too big for the anchor. the instructions tell you to tighten the anchor bolt... do so, but what I mean is really tighten the bolt all the way until the washer has pretty much flatten out. If you don’t tighten them that way, your anchor will feel/be loose. You tend to think that the bolt is tight because is hard touching the washers, but that is not it, you really have to put all your muscle to work when tightening the bolt for the anchor to open up and put pressure on the porcelain. Hope this is useful.

I have (2) Kohler San Raphael low-rise one-piece toilets. I saw that since I purchased them about 18 years ago, that Kohler now offers a Quiet-Close with Grip-Tight Bumpers Quick-Release Seat.So, I ordered (2) replacement upgrade seats. Thought this would be a quick-easy swap (I should know by now that NOTHING is easy!). When I went to remove my first (old) seat, "one" of the seat anchors broke due to rust when I tried to withdraw the screw. When I went to the other toilet, same thing happened - "one" of the anchors stripped out. Before I knew this Kohler Kit existed, I had to find a way to get the old anchor screws out of the damaged anchors (as they would just spin). I already had a tool similar to the withdrawal tool included in this kit and that did not help. Since my old seats were headed for the trash anyway, I went ahead and cut the plastic hinges off the seat to remove the seat using my trusty Dremel tool with a cutting wheel. That gave me full access to the screw heads that were stuck in the anchors. I then used the Dremel cutting wheel to cut the heads off the screws. The broken anchors just dropped down into the toilet - first problem solved - old broken anchors removed.Now I was left with two empty holes in the toilet with missing anchors. That is when I started searching for this kit. It arrived today and made quick work out of replacing both missing anchors. Everything worked perfectly by following the directions. One thing I would caution is not to over-tighten the anchors when installing. What I used was a Snap-On Shorty Ratchet with a 7/16" extension to seat the anchors. I kept my hand right on top of the ratchet head (as opposed to the handle) so that I could get a good "feel" for how much I was tightening it - they don't have to be "that" tight - just enough to where the ratchet stops without really cranking it down. I then put a heavy coat of Anti-Seize on the screws before final installation just in case I ever have to remove them again.I doubt the removal tool would be of much use, but worth a try. The removal tool is apparently designed to help you hold and anchor collar from spinning inside the porcelain while you attempt to remove the retaining screw, but that is assuming that the anchor lost it's grip on the toilet and the screw is not rusted or frozen into the threaded end of the anchor (which both of mine were). If the screw takes a lot of torque to remove, chances are it is either corroded or suffered stripped anchor threads during initial installation. If that is the case (as it was with mine), then as soon as you apply the added pressure needed to break the screw loose, instead of the anchor spinning, it actually breaks the anchor in half! So in my case the anchor flanges stayed solidly anchored to the toilet, but the screw would just effortlessly spin inside the anchor since the threaded tip of the anchor broke off and stayed welded to the end of the screw after trying to un-freeze the screw. Hence the need for a Dremel.The installation tool and anchors saved me about $1,600 by not having to replace my toilets! My only complaint is that the kit (including the anchors) is at least three times the price of what the components are worth and should include a 3rd spare anchor just in case (IMO).
