I've set one toilet. I removed it for tiling. It was a two-piece but I did not separate the pieces. it was heavy.
I found it difficult to see the flange bolts for alignment once I was straddling the toilet and holding all its weight.
The job went well - except I forgot to remove the rag I had stuffed in the pipe. That will never happen again (so I'm a little more experienced now).
Are there any methods you pros use to make the process easier when your working by yourself?
Would you separate the toilet tank from the bowl to reduce weight - or is this just adding another step and possible leak point?
How do you align the toilet perfectly over the flange (alignment extensions on the flange bolts)?
Do you put the wax ring on the toilet horn or over flange?
