Plumbing question

Has anyone out there replaced their entire toliet? How hard is it? Sealing, and so forth and so on. Any help/pointers/etc. is appreciated. Rather not pay a plumber if I can avoid it.

I have done it several times, along with all the other advice I would say make sure you replace any hoses and gaskets that are there currently, these get old and while you have the whole thing apart just take care of business - I also recommend getting the flexible metal hoses rather than the slightly cheaper plastic version, much more durable. Just follow the step by step directions and you will be good to go :)

"Re-caulk it"

just don't caulk around the toilet base to the floor, when you go to sell your home the inspector will make you remove it (happened the other day)
