Thank I watched a gazillion videos but yours was sweet and simple. I am redoing the flooring in my hideous bathroom with just me myself & I and it'd be easier to lay tile & paint with the toilet out of the way 🎉 Thanks for the info!

Fully drain the tank and bowl with a turkey baster or a sponge. They also make that stuff that turns the water into mush
Also, have an empty, open trash bag nearby to place the toilet on so you don’t get old wax and muck on the floor. Also, if you’re not reusing the toilet, you can dissemble the tank from the bowl, if it’s a two piece, to make it easier to move

How about if the bolt are rusted and or are broke off .

I had to use a oscillating saw with a metal blade to cut a bolt off it was rusted so bad. It cut through in 30 seconds. In the past I’ve spend a long time trying to remove rusted bolts. The oscillating saw is perfect for this job. It’s also good for removing anything stuck to the ceramic floor. The toilet I just removed looks like it had 2-3 wax rings smashed down and oozed out all around the underside of the toilet. The saw removed it quickly.

yo i want to replace my toilet and it does not have that valve so how do i drain the water (also can i just call a plumber instead of doing it myself will it be more expensive that way?)

Step 1 for me has mostly been turn off the water valve, realize its old and defective so now turn off the water at your main. Next go to the hardware store ans buy a new 1/4 turn compression valve. IF you don't have the proper tool continue for 30 mins trying to get the ferrule off the pipe with the nut behind ot, realize you should just cut it off or use a YouTube trick of using a crescent wrench and hammer. Realize you have no room for that and say either fuck it and reuse the old nut and ferrule or use a recip saw to cut the whole thing out.

Step 2 realize your sawzall skills are ahit and you have a bunch of burrs on the pipe but continue anyways to reconnect.

Step 3 realize after install of new toilet you have a leak from the valve because you had burrs on the pipe.

Step 4 curse and blame everything around you..

Step 5 eventually get it done and afterward feel like you need to talk to a psychiatrist.. 😂😂😂...

All in all it is a Pain BUT invest in a 1/2. Ferrule puller on amazon and it'll make life easy. When it comes to planning and plumbing i just double me ETA on how long i think a job is gonna take.
