Replacing a Wax Ring...Avoid a Plumbing FAIL!
What happens here
After draining, remove the toilet tank lid. Access the inside of the tank and unthread the ballcock assembly from the fill tube. This is typically done by unscrewing a nut at the base of the ballcock rod. Once disconnected, the ballcock can be carefully removed from the tank. Next, firmly grasp the toilet bowl from both sides and lift it straight up and off the toilet flange. Place the toilet gently onto a piece of cardboard or another protective surface to prevent scratching and contain any remaining drips.
Goal: Lift and remove the toilet from its base.
