Step 4 · Install the New Toilet

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.

Place a new wax ring onto the toilet flange, ensuring it's centered. Carefully lower the new toilet onto the flange, aligning the bolts with the holes in the toilet base. Press down firmly to compress the wax ring, creating a watertight seal. Secure the toilet to the floor with the nuts and washers, tightening them evenly.
