Step 4 · Install New Closet Bolts and Wax Ring
Take the new closet bolts and slide them into the slots on the newly installed repair ring, one on each side. Position them parallel to the back wall. Now, take the new wax ring. You can either press it firmly onto the circular outlet horn on the bottom of the toilet or place it directly on the flange, centered over the drain opening. Pressing it onto the toilet first is often recommended as it ensures a good seal on the toilet itself and reduces the risk of it shifting during installation.
