Secure Toilet Bowl and Level

What happens here

Check for any small gaps between the base of the toilet and the floor. If any are present, use flexible rubber shims to level the toilet and fill these gaps, ensuring stability. After the toilet is stable, install the plastic washers, metal washers, and nuts onto the toilet bolts. Hand-tighten these first, then use Knipex Cobra pliers to gently tighten them, alternating sides to ensure even pressure. Be careful not to overtighten, as this can crack the porcelain. The bolts often have 'break points'; once sufficiently tightened, use the Knipex pliers to snap off the excess bolt length, leaving a clean finish. Confirm the toilet bowl is now firmly in place with no movement.

Goal: Ensure the toilet bowl is stable, level, and securely fastened
