How do I do this - need to do it because existing ballcock is covered in limescale and toilet flushing very slowly

Changing your ballcock will not solve your flushing problem. Let's g et this over with one post. Describe how the toilet flushes and I'll instruct you on changing the ballcock along with solving the flush problem. Regards, toim

Describe your ball cock. Float ball on a rod or a can on a wire.
