I am trying to fix my toilet and need to remove the tank. Unfortunately the bolts are rusted and stripped so I can't remove the nuts/bolts. What should I do?

I guess you will have to take a hacksaw to them and cut them off. It wouldn't be the first time I had to do that in a home renovation !

Yep, hacksaw time, DO NOT CHISEL THOSE BOLTS. Once they are striped your done for.

Hacksaws are great, but I'm rather partial to the skin on my knuckles, so I usually use a Dremel tool with a corrugated cut-off wheel.
