"The seat should be removable with two push in buttons on the seat which will lift of the fixings then remove the Crome covers this should reveal the screws to tighten up the fixings hope this helps"

"This is pretty easy
There will be a quick realise on the seat that allows the seat to come away from the brackets once this is removed the covers will then come of (probably chrome) inside the will be a Phillips screw just tighten that hand tight until it feels stiff the just pop everything back on, try not to move anything when taking apart
Hope that helps"

"The fixings should have a screw and a wall plug system. Loosen the screw a bit and pull it out with the plastic plug. Don’t unscrew it too much, the plug will fall inside the pan."

"Generally the seat will be a quick release system. Lift the covers to expose the bolt head and tighten"
