you take off the bolts holding the toilet to the floor, there is going to be a wax ring , remove and put a new wax ring in between the bolts on the floor and put the toilet back , keep the bolts in sight when putting the toilet back , push toilet down and put bolts back on , flush to make sure no leaks , ,, caulk , . be sure to turn and take off the water supply line before anything , jerermiah
