      • Shut off the stop valve underneath the toilet by turning it clockwise until it becomes hand tight.

      • The appearance of this valve may differ from toilet to toilet, but most operate the same. Some valves require multiple turns to stop the water while others only require a quarter turn.

      • Push down the flush lever.

      • Hold the lever down until water stops draining from the tank.

      • A small amount of water will remain in the bottom of the tank.

      • If the flush lever or pull chain have become disconnected, lift up the toilet flapper to drain the tank.

      • Turn the coupling nut on the supply tube clockwise until it releases from the threaded shank on the bottom of the tank.

      • Using a socket wrench to hold the nuts, unscrew the two tank bolts with a screwdriver.

      • When reattaching the tank, tighten the bolts with a screwdriver, rather than tightening the nuts. Alternately tighten each bolt in increments, until the tank fits snugly against the toilet.

      • Avoid over-tightening the tank bolts. Too much force can easily crack the toilet tank or toilet bowl.

      • Lift the tank up from the lower half of the toilet.

      • Set the tank on a thick towel to avoid scraping it against the floor.

Step 5: Clockwise or counter-clockwise depends upon whether you are looking down at the coupling nut from above or up at it from below.

I suspect that, unless it has a left-handed thread, most people would turn it in the direction that works.

Close your eyes. Attaching something, the turning motion is (usually) clockwise: Righty-tighty; lefty-loosey.
