Replace cistern Internal parts

I have two toilets with push button cisterns. Long story short kids cant flush the toilets. Mrs sometimes finds it hard to push the buttons. Can I pull all parts out and replace with new easy push ones.

Can't answer your specific question. But I've had problems with 2 separate push buttons recently. One was caused by a 'kink' on the cable where the cable is connected to the push button. Repaired with a pliers at zero cost. The other one was caused by a dodgy pushbutton. Replaced the button at a cost of approximately €14.
So if I was you I'd :
1. take the lid off and lift the mechanism and see if it flushes freely.
2. check where the push button is connected and see if it is a wire or button problem.
