crstrm Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Greetings, The Waste Ball Drive Arm (part# 42048) on my Thetford Aqua Magic Style II has snapped off. The instructions state that I have to remove the toilet to replace the waste ball drive arm. http://www.thetford.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/1449/Service-Kit-34106-Pedal-Cable.pdf It looks to me that I could possibly unscrew the Waste Ball Drive Arm and replace it with a new one without removing the toilet. If anyone has done this job, is it possible to replace without removing the toilet. (The link above reads “pedal cable” replacement but that description is incorrect.)

Pat & Pete Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 Why not just give it a shot ? You might have had the job done in the same time you took to type that^ . Then , if it's a no go or an easy fix, type up a tutorial . Quote Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Greg Posted April 29, 2018 Report Share Posted April 29, 2018 The Thetford manual has no idea how and where your RV manufacturer installed and placed you toilet so if you can get to the assembly needing repairs go for it. From my Thetford repair experiences (and there were many) the best repair is to replace it with a Seeland (now Dometic) model 320.

GlennWest Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I actually prefer the Thedford. I hate having to hold up on that foot valve.

Big Greg Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Glenn, I'm not sure if you are referring to the Dometic 320 but our foot pedal works the same as the old Thetford we had; half way down opens the water valve and all the way down flushes the toilet.

GlennWest Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Never seen a Sealand foot valve that worked that way. Only thedford.

MCV Posted September 18, 2021 Report Share Posted September 18, 2021 Art, were you able to replace it without pulling the toilet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
