How To Remove and Install a Toilet Tank and Bowl

This is part 1 of this two part series I walk you through the process of removing and installing a close coupled toilet tank and bowl.

Whether it’s to make a repair, clear a stoppage or install a new tank and bowl the process is the same.
Always start by shutting the water supply and then to keep the work area safe, remove any residual water from the tank and bowl. To do this I’m using a good old turkey bester and sponge which is the quickest way to get this done.

The next step would be to remove the plastic flange bolt covers and loosen the flange bolts. I’ll caution you here by saying that in most cases these bolts will have to be cut off with a hacksaw. If this happens to you just follow my instruction on how to accomplish this.

Next step is to disconnect the water supply tube from the fill valve and proceed to remove the tank and bowl.

Let’s continue in part 2, don’t go away.
