Hi i was wondering how to remove this kind of flush?  I think mine just needs a new washer.  But I can't figure out how to take it off.

I’d also love to know how to remove the outlet so that I can replace the washer at the bottom.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @georgina44. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing a flush valve.

The unit you have should pull directly upwards out of the tracks that locate the unit at the back and the front of the cistern. Just check the areas, especially on the front, to see if you need to depress any tabs releasing the unit before lifting it up.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks Mitchell, that’s the feeling I got but I was too scared to just start pulling at it! 
There’s some tabs at the front I think I can separate before I do it.

Re: installation of dual flush valve in caroms cistern

I think you're on the right track. I suspect these two tabs need to be flexed slightly outward to allow the unit to slide out @georgina44

Looks like the front tabs weren’t enough to loosen it.

I’m sure there’s something here holding it in but nothing I can move. And because it’s all plastic if feels a bit too wobbly to pull to hard. 
Do you think it will be too risky to peel the seal off while it’s still attached and try to put a fresh one on at that angle?
