Uh. Don't you need to hook the water supply back up?
So its better to put the wax on the back of the toilet then to place the wax down on the floor?
Did ACE pay this man?!! At 1:16, he says to loosen the nuts and then lift the toilet straight up. You won't get very far with that step because you haven't REMOVED the nuts after loosening them!
Thanks for this video. I am replacing the bathroom floor and will need to replace the wax ring (it's pretty friendly and old anyway).
Love how nice the toilets look in these demo videos. I wish mine looked like that for my replacement project! 😂
Pliers on a nut?? I think not!
Thanks bro, now I know what to pick up from Lowe's.
Put short straws over the bolt studs to help guide the locations of the bolts
How do you replace a flange?
if the anchor bolt does not snap into the washer , you need to trim the bolt! use a grinder.
