    Turn the water to the toilet off and remove the flap, find one like it and replace. Should work well. Be sure to clean the surface where it closes. If it doesn't seal good, put a thin coat of Vaseline on the underside of the new flap.

    Take old flap off and go to local ace hardware. They always carry the hard to finds and have a very knowledgable staff. This is where i got my replacement at after some guy at lowes tried to sell me a universal replacement. They had the exact one i needed. Do not buy that one at walmart go to ace.
