Default URGENT :Toilet Flush not working

******************************
I need to repair my toilet. The flush is not working.

I bought a kit from Walmart.

I have never done this before.

Would a person with a little handyman/woman work experience be able to fix it ?
or do I need to get a handyman or specialist ?


Toilets rarely explode, or catch fire.
Once you've switched the water to it off, there is practically nothing
you can do to it unless you use too much force and break things, that'll
make things worse.

Turn the water off, drain the tank (at worst you can empty it with cups, or
use a hose to siphon).
Now work out how it's supposed to work, possibly with dissasembly, and
find out what's wrong.

It's likely you'll find a perished flap or washer, or maybe the lever/push
has become disconnected.

Replacing this should fix it.
