Spent 3 hours fixing a toilet fill valve that took 20 minutes on YouTube
My toilet was running nonstop last Sunday so I watched a quick video and grabbed a $8 Fluidmaster from Ace. Thought I'd have it done in 20 minutes tops. Turns out the old plastic nut was fused solid from years of hard water stains and I spent over 2 hours with a hacksaw and WD-40 trying to get it off without cracking the tank. Has anyone else run into a simple job that turned into a half-day project because of one stupid rusted part?

Man that's the worst. Did you end up cracking the tank a little or did the hacksaw save you?

Did the hacksaw end up saving the day, or is my tank now leaking in a way that matches my questionable DIY skills?
