I didn't until a recent leaking issue arose that even damaged some drywall down below and left some mildew spots on our rug below. About 1 1/2 years ago our flush valve acted up I measured a bit and headed off the the big orange box store to find a replacement. I purchased a fluid master 3" universal flush valve and a tank to bowl gasket for 3" toilets also fluid master. Well move forward 1 1/2 years and one late Friday night my wife texts me, come upstairs we have a problem in the MB. Water, lots of it. We cleaned that up and just for grins I went downstairs to see if we got lucky. Nope a small hole in the drywall ceiling with water dripping down and the carpet below discolored. Apparently we had a small slow leak that we did not detect until it manifested itself into a faster leak. Ugh. I shut the water off to the toilet, drained the tank and addressed the issue the next day. Turns out we had 3 issues; Toilet bowl to floor gasket (wax ring), flush valve that was a bit to small (Kohler is 3.25" not 3" like most other toilet manufactures) the flush valve somehow moved a bit to...

You cannot purchase only the broken piece of plastic. You have to purchase the entire canister assembly—lots of parts that you have to pay for, but don’t need. I thought it would be better to go ahead and replace the entire canister assembly anyway since I now have all the new parts—but when read the instructions for installing the canister assembly, I was really bummed, because you have to remove the entire toilet tank. They must be kidding. Instead, I decided to replace only the part actually broken. I simply twisted off the center column (with the broken piece) by turning it a 1/4 turn counterclockwise, removed it and used (only) that part of the entire new assembly. This was quick and easy (thankfully), but Koehler should sell that one part that breaks, so that you don’t have to purchase the entire canister valve assembly. Also, the new canister...
