I have an old American Standard toilet built in a way I've never seen elsewhere: when flushed, water enters from the back (and from underneath the rim) and exits out the front, passing through a trap located underneath the front of the bowl and into the drain. It's always drained poorly, but has become even worse, and I'd like to clean it out with a toilet snake. However, the trap forms a sharp angle and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get a snake around that bend. I've even stuck my hand up in there to try and guide the snake but it always gets stuck. I can plunge the toilet just fine, but that doesn't seem to be enough.
Any suggestions, short of replacing the toilet? My only other idea was to used a compressed air plunger, but I've read mixed reviews of those.
Thanks,
Matt
