Step 1 · Preparation and Toilet Removal
Begin by turning off the water to the toilet using the shutoff valve located on the wall behind it. Turn the handle clockwise until it stops. Flush the toilet to empty the tank and hold the handle down to drain as much water as possible from the bowl. Use a sponge and bucket to remove any remaining water from the tank and bowl. Disconnect the water supply line from the base of the toilet tank using an adjustable wrench. Finally, pry off the plastic caps at the base of the toilet, unscrew the nuts from the closet bolts, and with a helper, carefully lift the toilet straight up and set it aside on some old towels or cardboard.
