Also, if the trip lever and chain are pulling the flapper "off kilter" you can gently bend the trip lever arm such that it pulls more in line with the pivot action of the flapper. | |

However, most flappers that twist out of position lack firmly mounted pivot points - they tend to be the ones that are held around the overflow tube and thus free to twist out of position. | |
