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.

As B said.
toughest part is maneuvering the porcelain due to it's bulk and weight.

Make sure you have:
a wax sealing ring of the correct size
a new tube to go from the wall to the toilet
Proper wrenches etc

I recommend having a rag to plug the drain while you are working on cleaning up the fitting, don't forget to remove it before placing the toilet


Need help?

Truer words never spoken.

These should be posted in large letters on the base of the toilet when it is purchased. Just to be sure.
