The 3 bolts that hold the tank onto the bowl AND the part that takes in water.
The fill valve is out completely. When I tried to put it back on, it didn't work like before. Now it sprays and leaks water rather than just filling the tank in a civilized manner.
For the time being, I have reattached the water line to the tank because I did not empty the bucket quick enough and there was water all over the floor. It looks for the moment like the tank is draining as slowly as the water is flowing into it.
Fuck! I've had better days.
