  1. Set the wax ring on the floor, and put the toilet on it evenly, making sure to line up the s***w holes from the floor.

    If your wax ring keeps falling off try using two of them. It can fall off because the hole in the floor is too deep (perhaps due to multiple layers of flooring/tile). I had to try a few times until I got mine to stop leaking.

    Another trick to get the wax ring to stick better is to use a hair dryer to warm it up so it sticks to the toilet better.


  2. put it over the hole first then put the toilet on the ring very carefully,and tighten the nuts on bottom of toilet.

  3. i don't know how they keep falling out, anyways, just scrape out the old one, peel back the covering on the new one and put it in place, then just spread the wax around the edges a bit to make it water tight, then install your toilet.

  4. you put the ring on the pipe on the floor , then put the toilet over the ring and pipe, set down as straight and even as you can , then press till the toilet is completely on the floor.

  5. Remove the toilet.  Put on the ring.   Put some vaseline on it to make it go on better.  Nothing to it really.

    A tip, don't reuse the old ring.  They are super cheap at the home improvement stores.
