Review on Kohler Genuine Part Gp1059291 Canister by Ahmed Jackson

We have a Kohler Cimarron toilet with a red valve seal. It was the perfect replacement. The reason we got it was because the toilet was very difficult to flush after 2 years; The flush handle had to be squeezed really hard - it was like getting stuck. Replacing this one changed everything - he reverted to the new one. A little tip here, the packaging has instructions on the back. So when you get to the part where you have to turn the middle part of the canister mechanism disc counter-clockwise to loosen it, well when I did it sounded like plastic would do. snap onto the shaft. So here's what you need to do: simply lift the real canister just enough to reach underneath and grab the center shaft at the base where it connects to the toilet tank. In your hand it looks like a + sign - take it and twist counterclockwise to loosen, then do the same (clockwise) to tighten. This is a much more reliable way to remove and activate the canister mechanism without feeling like you're about to break the center shaft.
