A pill vial got caught in my toilet and it looks like removing the
toilet is the only way to get it out. I replaced one 10 years ago,
so I know it is not all that hard, but I really don't remember much
about it.

Can one person do it, or will I need help?
What supplies will I need? (I am 25 miles from a store, so I would
like to have everything...) Presumably a wax ring, are they one size
fits all? Anything else?

I vaguely remember that the nuts and bolts were rusted into one piece
and I had to break the base up with a hammer. Fortunately these nuts
look brand new so it should be much easier.


You will need the proper wrench. You will need a wax ring just in case
the old one has been mashed down too much. Personally I like the ones
that have a built in plastic funnel. Depending upon your floor you may
need a double length wax ring. I put caulk around the base after I was
done to help match the grout I used for the tile job.
