In this DIY video is Step by step instructions on how to replace all internal parts of a toilet tank. First we replaced the toilet flapper but noticed it didn't stop the water from running inside the toilet bowl, which means the gasket inside the toilet tank was failing and needed to be replaced. In order to do that, the toilet tank needs to be removed from the toilet. It's a good idea to go ahead and replace the fill valve while having to remove the tank anyways, that way everything is new inside.
This toilet in particular is made by American Standard, many toilet brands use the same type of parts. Be sure to check your brand of toilet to get the correct internal tank replacement kit. Kohler toilets usually have different internal parts and flushing mechanisms.
*Read and follow the instructions of the Toilet Tank Replacement Parts kit you are using for your toilet. Also, be sure to get a toilet parts kit that is designed for your specific toilet.

The handle that came with the Fluidmaster Universal Parts kit did not work for this particular toilet, so I left the handle that was in place already.
Total time spent replacing the entire toilet tank parts was about a half hour.
