Thanks, but it is hard to get pliers in there, the nut doesn't portrude
to just grab it at the end and crack it. I would have to get a grip
through the jet hole...

The nut fits so nicely, it is almost like it is designed to cork it
that way! I'm suspecting somebody was settling a score.

What would be my chances of taking the toilet out, removing tank,
shaking the nut out?

Bfore I did that, I would try removing the tank and using a small jet
of water to get the nut back to the big entry place. You'll need a
helper. We are talking about inside the rim, right?

I have an adaptor that screws on to a kitchen faucet and then is the
right size for aquarium tubing to go inside. I didn't buy it, have
never seen another, and don't know where to get one.

Is there an acid or something like that that would disolve the nut but
not the toilet?

Thanks
