In this video I show you how to remove and reset a toilet after repairing a damaged flange. This video is perfect for anyone who wants to save the cost of a plumber setting a toilet if everything else is otherwise in good working condition. This also is perfect for anyone who may notice a leak at the bottom of the toilet base and wants to take a shot at repairing it before hiring someone to do the job.

To simply remove and reset a toilet that is in good working order is actually a very simple and quick process. The tricky part comes if there is damage to the flange, which was encountered during the removal process of this video. There are varying levels of damage that could dictate if the shown option of this video will work, or if the flange will have to be replaced entirely. The biggest concern is not to damage the drain pipe itself which will create a much greater issue.

If you do not have any flange damage to worry about, simply skip over those portions of the video and you should be able to use this video for a simple reset of a toilet as well. Time stamps are below.
