Step 2 · Disconnect and Remove the Toilet
With the water off, use an adjustable wrench to disconnect the water supply line from the fill valve on the underside of the toilet tank. Have a small towel ready for any drips. Next, pry off the plastic caps covering the closet bolts at the base of the toilet. Use the adjustable wrench or a socket set to remove the nuts from the closet bolts. The toilet is now free from the floor. Straddle the bowl, get a firm grip, and gently rock it side-to-side to break the wax seal underneath. Lift the toilet straight up and move it to a pre-prepared area, such as on old towels or cardboard, to avoid scratching the floor or making a mess.
