Step 4 · Remove the Toilet Tank

This is the step most people slow down on. Take it one move at a time — there’s no rush, and you can rewind the clip as many times as you need.

Be mindful that it might be slightly heavier than anticipated. Carefully carry it to the prepared area on the floor and gently set it down on its back on top of the old towels to protect both the tank and the floor.
