Howdy all, I'm on a roll today with the questions...
The baseboard of my bathroom started deteriorating under my wall mounted toilet (hangs off the wall- nothing touching the ground). I assume the wax ring is ka-put. I need to replace it.
I have a special wax ring made for wall hung toilets. Do I just unbolt those four bolts, use a floor jack or something to pull it out, then replace the ring and then bolt it all against the wall?
What are the best practices for this? You can't use your body weight to smash the wax ring in place- I'm looking for caveats and gotchas to this procedure.
I have 4 of these in my house, so I better get used to them, and figure out how to do it the right way.
Any general info on this would be great- google/askmyhelpdesk searches didn't come up with much general info.
Once again, thanks for everyone's time!
