It starts with determining what the problem is. If you have a manual flushing head like or one of the electric flushing types, you have a joker valve. Familiar brands are Raritan and Jabsco.

Taking this apart is not hard, and I typically have to get psyched up for having to do this work. The reality is you are going to get a little bit of toilet water on you. The first thing you want to do is look at the manual for your head and see where the joker valves are located. Below are a few links to manuals of the popular models as well as a ...

In the end, this is not a difficult job, and you can almost always do it yourself to save money. Joker valves are available on Amazon but, I prefer to order these from the manufacturer.
