What's the simplest way to install a new blade seal in a Thetford Bravura toilet? I read somewhere that you don't have to pull the toilet to get to it, but I can't figure out how to remove just the bowl. At this point it seems pulling the whole toilet would be the easiest thing to do. Any experienced opinions? Thanks!

I found the parts list and a blow up of the toilet. Perhaps this will help.

Ray and Mary, welcome to iRV2.com. We are glad to have you join us and we look forward to reading of your adventures and experiences. I am sure you will enjoy the website and forums.
You will need to pull the toilet and you may want to consider bitting the bullet and putting in a better toilet; like a china bowl model. Sealand makes good models that would last you the rest of the life of the coach.
Good luck and keep us posted on this issue.

DriVer - Thanks for the link to the parts list. I was able to find a seal kit locally and replace all the seals yesterday.

RV Wizard - As you said, I had to pull the toilet to get to the blade seal. That was just as well. This toilet is very easy to pull and as long as you're going part way in, you might as well pull it and replace all the seals. Replacing it with a better toilet is a good idea, but I'm not able to stimulate the economy that much right now.

Thank you both for your help and advice.
