How to replace a toilet

Here are the steps to replace a toilet:

Step 1:
Turn off the water supply. Shut off the water supply to the toilet and flush it to empty the tank and bowl.

Step 2:
Remove the old toilet. Unscrew the bolts at the base of the toilet and lift it off the flange. Be careful, as toilets can be heavy and awkward to move.

Step 3:
Prepare the new toilet. Place a new wax ring on the flange to create a seal. Ensure the ring is centered correctly.

Step 4:
Install the new toilet. Lower the new toilet onto the flange, aligning it with the bolts. Press down to seat the toilet onto the wax ring.

Step 5:
Secure and test. Tighten the bolts to secure the toilet in place. Reconnect the water supply, turn it on, and test for leaks. Adjust the connections as needed to ensure a proper fit.
