How do I remove the push button (double) from the lid of my low level, close coupled toilet cistern? When I attempt to raise the lid, it will not move by more than a couple of millimetres. If I attempt to rotate the escutcheon around the pushbutton, it will turn (anticlockwise) by only about 30 degrees, then the whole unit begins to turn. If I attempt to prise it off vertically, there is a lot of resistance that makes me feel I will break it if I try harder. I have another toilet where I can raise the cistern lid as the flush mechanism is connected flexibly to the pushbutton, but not on this problem one.
Many thanks,

Does anyone know how to remove/replace a Roca single pushbutton for the toilet cistern?
I've just receive the replacement button as the old one broke and don't want to break anything by doing it wrong. How easy is it to replace it on my own or do I need to call a plumber? The kit contains a rather long plastic rod that I assume needs to be shorten or not???
Any advise is appreciated!

My roca toilets have two buttons. One cresent shaped and one circular. The cresent button fits around one side of the circular one. To remove the cistern lid you must remove the buttons. This is done by pushing down the circular button and pulling up the cresent button. Once the cresent button is out , the circular one will come out easily. Now put a screwdriver down the centre hole and undo the screw, the heh presto you can lift off the lid
