Is a simple and easy process that anyone can do. The first step is to remove the old wax ring from the toilet. This can be done by using a putty knife or a flat head screwdriver. Once the old wax ring is removed, clean off any residual wax from the toilet flange. The next step is to install the new wax ring. To do this, simply press the wax ring onto the toilet flange.

Make sure that the wax ring is seated evenly on the flange. Once the wax ring is in place, you can now install the toilet bowl. To do this, simply place the bowl over the wax ring andpress it down until it is snug against the flange. Once the bowl is in place, you can now install the seat and lid. That’s it! You’ve successfully installed a toilet wax ring.

Shut off the water supply to the toilet

Then flush it to remove any remaining water from the tank. Remove the bolts holding the toilet in place, and lift it off of the flange. Take care not to damage or scratch the wax ring as you are removing the toilet.

Once the old wax ring is removed, use a sponge or cloth to clean away all of the residual wax and grime from the flange. Place the new wax ring on top of the flange, making sure it is seated evenly. Carefully lower the toilet bowl onto the wax ring, and use a putty knife or screwdriver to press it down firmly until it is fully in place on top of your flooring.

Flush the toilet to drain all of the water from the tank and bowl

Finally, turn the water supply back on, and give the toilet a flush to test it out. If everything is working properly, then you’re done! You’ve successfully replaced your old wax ring with a new one. Good luck!
