Step 2 · Remove the Old Toilet Carefully

This is the step people usually slow down on. Go finger-tight first, then a quarter turn. No rush — replay the clip whenever it helps.

Disconnect the water supply line from the toilet tank. Carefully unscrew the nuts and bolts securing the toilet to the floor using an adjustable wrench. If caulk was used, score it with a utility knife before removing the bolts. Gently rock and lift the toilet from the flange, placing it on towels or a drop cloth to protect the floor. Dispose of old wax ring properly.
