If you are referring to the flush knob, the nut is reverse threaded. Remove the nut, then swing the arm to the left, and pull straight out of the tank.

Fluidmaster 400 instructions

Depends on type. Rubber ones usually are suspended from the seat by an arm on either side, you pull it off the arms and replace the same way. Older ones slide down over the overflow tube.

Fluidmaster toilet fill runs when toilet tank is full

If there is nothing wrong with the fluidmaster, it probably needs to be adjusted, sounds like it is running down thru the overflow tube!

The tank is filling very slowly. The little hose coming from the side of the unit is plugged, no water is flowing thru it during tank filling.

Fluid master comes apart at top.Turn counter clockwise to unsnap .You will see water valve seal. take seal out and clean out any grit. reasemble and should work. hope this helps.

The overflow valve actually sticks above the top of the tank. Should I cut some of this off? How much?

If you are talking about the overflow tube in the tank of a toilet, I would say that it should be cut midway between the top of the tank and the high water mark inside the tank.
The fill valve may even have a mark on the side indicating the high level mark for the backflow preventer.

After flush tank refills very slowly

Make sure that any valves that you shut to install the fill valve are fully open after the installation.

If that doesn't work, the following is from another fix your stuff site:
Shut off water supply. Lift the rod arm and remove top cap assembly by turning 1/8 turn counterclockwise. Using a straightened coat hanger, carefully clean out the inlet passage of the Valve.

If these don't help, check the model number of your Fluidmaster and include that the next time you write.

My toilet tank has a Fluidmaster. It does not always shut off after tank has filled with water. Seems to be sticking. Is there an adjustment I can make or should the entire Fluidmaster be replaced?

This happens over time and also more often if you have hard water. Using cleaner tabs actually make it worse. You need to change it out. Hardware stores carry a direct replacement. I think it was a Fluidmaster 400A model that is identical to yours.

I have a 4112.016 American Standard Toilet and even with the floater all the way down the chain the water seems to keep running and going into the bowl.

1.The Flapper Valve isn't seating all the way, and allowing water to seep through. (At end of chain)
2.The Fluidmaster water control unit that is connected to the other end of the chain, isn't shutting off when the lever for it, is all the way in the down position.

Test the FluidMaster unit, by lightly applying pressure in a down motion, to that lever.
(Facing the toilet from the front, the FluidMaster water control unit is in the left corner of the tank. {Not trying to insult your intelligence}
The lever I speak of, is the small arm at the top of the FluidMaster. The Flapper Valve chain connects to this lever)

If it shuts off, you may have some fine sand, or other foreign material in the FluidMaster. [Taking one apart, and checking, then reassembling, is No fun!]

If it doesn't shut off when you apply pressure to that lever, you may have a bad diaphragm in the FluidMaster.
Suggest you replace this unit.
