    Inside water connection in toilet
    I am trying to replace a rigid pipe supplying water to the toilet with a flexible pipe. However, I can not seem to be able to disconnect the rigid pipe from the toilet water reservoir - the whole connection inside the toilet keeps on turning too. What am I doing wrong? Please help!
