Step 1 · Preparation and Toilet Removal
Begin by preparing the work area. Turn off the water supply to the toilet using the shut-off valve on the wall behind it. Flush the toilet to empty the tank and bowl. Use a sponge and bucket to remove any remaining water from both the tank and the bowl. Disconnect the water supply line from the toilet tank. Finally, use a putty knife to pry off the bolt caps at the base of the toilet, and use an adjustable wrench to remove the nuts from the closet bolts. Rock the toilet gently to break the wax seal, then lift it straight up and set it aside on old towels or cardboard.
