What happens here
To lighten the toilet for easier removal and prevent back injury, it's recommended to separate the tank from the bowl. Reach underneath the toilet bowl to locate and unscrew the wing nuts that secure the tank to the bowl. Once the nuts are removed, carefully lift the toilet tank straight up and away from the bowl. The presenter highlights the importance of lifting with legs and core to avoid injury, especially since a combined toilet can weigh over 100 pounds.
Goal: Separate the toilet tank from the bowl for safer removal.
