So the toilet in my parents bedroom is all hissing and annoying so I decided to try fix it for them.
I bought a new cistern valve to replace the old one, when I removed the old one i noticed this thing circled in the attached pic.
I'm not sure what it is used for except it prevents the sealing washer from making contact with the wall of the water closet, so now the toilet starts to leak with the new valve installed :(
I think it is also blocking the flow of water because when the new cistern is installed, the water closet fills up very slowly (even when taking the leakage into account)
so, should I remove this thing? if so what is the best way to do it?
