What happens here

Begin by evacuating the water from the toilet bowl and tank. The video demonstrates using a shop vacuum to remove water from the bowl. Once the bowl is mostly empty, locate the water supply valve behind or near the toilet and turn it off completely. This prevents continuous water flow during the replacement.

Goal: Empty toilet bowl and tank, and stop water flow

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.
