What happens here

Unscrew the water supply line from the fill valve on the underside of the toilet tank. Be prepared for a small amount of residual water to drip out, having a sponge or towel ready. Use a utility knife or flat-head screwdriver to gently pry off the decorative caps covering the nuts that secure the toilet to the floor flange.

Goal: Disconnect the water supply line from the toilet tank and carefully remove the decorative caps covering the toilet flange bolts.

What they say

I didn't have to take all the water out of there, but water equals pounds. Lefty loosey. Pop this toilet supply line off of the fill valve right here. You're probably going to get just a little bit of water off of this. Got a little sponge down in our kitchen some water. Take your knife, we'll get this other cap off of here. I use this little pair of uh 6-in Knipex Cobras here to get my toilet nuts off. Clean up some of that water stain.
