Any plumbers on CP? I have a toilet in my house that recently has become so hard to flush that the plastic bar inside the tank connected to the handle snapped in half. The seal in the tank ball\flapper\whatever is so tight that it takes an incredible amount of force to get it to pop up and actually flush the toilet. Aside from replacing the handle and lever with something more durable (i.e. metal), is there anything I can do to fix the He-Man seal aside from replacing the whole unit?
