Buy the repair kit from FluidMaster and fix the whole tank while you
have it off, never use caulking as it doesn.t work here. The earlier
post suggesting it forget, use the proper seals and washers you won,t
need it. I have done this for 25 yrs and it is not hard. Saying that I
think you said it was 20 plus years old consider a new one

While replacing the flapper valve in our American Standard toilet
(probably 20 something years old) the overflow tube broke right off at
the bottom. It appears that it was screwed in but that the threaded
end is still stuck in the bottom. Any advise on what to do? It would
seem that if I could just get the threaded piece out I could get a new
overflow tube and screw it in. Thanks in advance.

DEFINETELY USE ALL NEW WASHERS AND HARDWARE!

The silicone bathtub caulk is a belt and suspenders pproach and saves
multiple reassemblies
