When a toilet develops leaking around the base of the bowl, it very often has nothing at all to do with the toilet itself.

The same technique is used if you are removing an old toilet in order to set a new one. | When a toilet develops leaking around the base of the bowl, it very often has nothing at all to do with the toilet itself.
