How do I take out an old toilet and install a new toilet? I need directions.?

Question

I need a step 1, 2, 3 of directions on how to remove an old toilet and replace it with another.

Answer 1

First turn the water off to the toilet,dip out most of the water left in it, disconect the water line  With a small wrench loosen the bolts on the bottom and pull up the toilet.Make sure the wax ring is intact and reset the new one. Reconnect the waterline. Tighten the bolts and your good to go. Flush to make sure everything is in working order.When you set the new one you have to go straight down onto the ring so you won't break it. If you break it you will need a new wax ring or the stool will leak.

Answer 2

You'd better get a guy to help you. You will have to lift the entire bottom part of the toilet out of the way to put in a new wax seal. Yikes!! : S

I've rehabbed lots of houses. Been there, done that, and don't want to do it again.

Answer 3

First shut off the water supply. Flush away the water in the tank. Drain the tank and the bowl using a sponge. Undo the two bolts holding the toilet to the floor. Lift the toilet, gently rocking it to break the seal. Clean off the old wax and any dirt.Gently place a new wax seal on the underside of the new toilet and lower over the plumbing and bolts. carefully move the new toilet until it rests on the floor. Fasten the bolts but not too tight so as not to break the porcelain. Connect the tank to the water supply and open the valve. You're ready to use your new toilet.
