Things You Will Need
First, check with the manufacturer to see if yours is still under warranty. If not, any local plumbing supply store will carry a wax ring that will fit your Eljer toilet, because it is a universal accessory.
Removal
-
Close the shutoff valve leading to the toilet.
-
Unscrew the supply line that is connected to the toilet (this will be the white or silver hose running from the shutoff valve to the underside of the toilet tank).
-
Flush the toilet.
-
Use a wrench to loosen the bolts holding your toilet bowl to the floor. There will be one bolt on either side of the toilet.
-
Move the toilet, until can see the closet flange (the drain in the floor).
-
Remove any remnants of the old wax ring from both the bottom of your toilet and the floor flange.
Installation
-
Set the new wax ring into the bottom of the toilet bowl with the rounded edge going in first.
-
Align the toilet bowl back over and onto the closet flange, ensuring that the floor bolts fit through both holes on the bottom of the toilet bowl.
-
Tighten the bolts with a wrench, and secure the toilet in place.
-
Screw the supply line back onto the toilet tank
-
Open the shutoff valve behind the toilet.
