I'm under the impression replacing a toilet is a pretty simple affair. Yet I always worry when embarking on any plumbing project as (for me) they never go as planned!
1. turn off water supply, empty water from old toilet, disconnect water, remove hold down nuts, remove entire toilet
2. remove old wax ring, install new wax ring
3. lower toilet down onto new wax ring, tighten down hold down nuts
4. reconnect water supply hose, turn on water supply, monitor for leaks
I am most worried about step 3, namely ensuring I am lowering toilet squarely down on the new wax ring as I'm not aware of anything that guides you to do this perfectly. Any advice or glaring omissions to ensure this goes smoothly?
