What happens here

With the water supply off, disconnect the flexible water supply line from the toilet tank's fill valve. Next, identify the nuts securing the toilet tank to the bowl, usually located underneath the tank. Use a wrench or pliers to loosen and remove these nuts, then carefully lift the toilet tank off the bowl. Ensure you lift with proper technique, engaging your core, as the tank can be heavy.

Goal: Remove the toilet tank from the bowl

Tools and materials

  • Screwdriver — Stabilizing tank bolts if they spin during removal
  • Wrench — Loosening nuts on the water supply line and tank bolts

You can do this any way you like, but this makes it pretty easy. Let's go ahead and see if we can just turn this off right here. Oh yeah, super easy. Get this wing that off of here. And if the bolt starts spinning, you're going to have to put a screwdriver down in there to hold the top of that. Hop these bad boys off. Lift with your core. Let's put a little bleach on it. Kills 99% of everything here. Please don't use silicone. Calk comes up so much easier.
