Bad news. I have found it impossible to remove the bolt caps without breaking them. They are mortared on. They do make plastic bolt caps in a lot of different colors.
Rusting bolts normally indicates that the bolts are brittle. Taking a pair of water pump pliers and squeezing really hard will most of the time break the rusted bolt so you can remove the toilet seat. Otherwise depending on the type of toilet seat installed, you can drill a hole right through exactly where the rusted bolts slot in, so helping you remove the toilet seat.
What do you think it is? It is a toilet made of ceramic. Fool.
How do I find out an answer to a question about toilet repair? I have a crack in my tank and I want to fix it. It is ceramic.
Some are NOT be removed such as Sloan Royal
in a sanitary and ceramic factory
Yes that's what the flange sit on and get bolted onto that is why if you remove the toilet/flange you will see a hole in your floor
The first toilet made entirely of ceramics was made by Thomas Twyford of England.
It can vary... if the bolt is really rusted it will keep turning in the flange because it won't catch (stripped out). If this is the case, you may need to use a hacksaw to cut the nuts on the top, away from the porcelain (if they won't turn with a crescent wrench). Then you would have to use an adjustable jaws pliers or a set of vice grips to turn and remove what's left of the bolt. Pro tip: Take the tank off of the toilet as this makes it lighter
try rubbing alcohol
Thomas Twyford invented a single piece, ceramic flush toilet, as well was the famous Thomas Crapper toilet. Twyford was Caucasian.
Assuming it is a ceramic toilet. No. However if it is an old mild steel toilet and the enamel is cracked, the acetic acid in vinegar will eventually eat through it.
Pull it out.
