1. Slide on a rubber bushing from the toilet seat tightening kit, with the tapered side facing up toward the toilet seat. Then use the tightening tool from the kit to snug up the nut.

2. Loop the rubber bands around the toilet seat from the stabilizer kit, and center the stabilizers so they touch the inside rim of the bowl. Drill a starter hole and secure the stabilizers with screws from the kit.
