I have to remove a toilet. It's the first time I've done it. How do I
know which wax ring to buy at Lowes? Any tips to keep me out of trouble?

Why you have to remove it might get some additional tips being a first
timer. For instance, putting tile in you may need a riser.

The toilet is slow to drain. I don't have a snake, and the guy at Lowes told me
that the best solution is to remove it an clean it out. He said that lots of
toilets get damaged with snakes.

It's not really a money thing, but buying a $5 or less wax ring is cheaper than
buying a snake that may or may not damage the porcelain on the 30-year old toilet.
