In response to Re: Removing toilet base
: I'm remodeling my bathroom and want to remove the old toilet. I got the tank off no problem, but am having trouble with the base. : The nuts/bolts keep spinning. There isn't enough clearance to hold bolt w/ pliers and I've tried WD-40. : Do I need penetrating oil ? : Do I need to cut the bolt somehow ? : Or drill out the bolt ? Tom, I use a sawzall and cut the bolts. This may mess up the bowl some, are you replacing with a new one?
