Our toilet was too small and short and I wanted to install a toilet that was higher and at a more comfortable height. Removing and installing a toilet is an easy DIY project that a homeowner can do in 1-2 hours (or less) by themselves, depending on the weight of the toilet. Watch this video and learn how to make your toilet installation go smoothly. A big thanks for American Standard for sponsoring the complimentary toilet for this tutorial!

My son and I are going to attempt to change the toilet in my bathroom in a couple of days. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I don't have any "unpleasant" surprises when I take out the old toilet and install the new!
Pro tip wax or rubber seal double nut meaning by on the flange put a nut on the bolt to hold it up straight. Also shims under the toilet from the side to level it out so it don't rock have have chance of blowing a ring. When caulking or grouting the bottom leave a gap front or back you won't see it. It leaves a spot for water to escape or show i should say if a leak ever happens
I just replaced my toilet. This video helped me tremendously. I didn't think I could do it, but it was easier than I thought.
Thank you so much.

Hey your tutorial was helpful but you know the shorter toilets are healthier than the tall adult toilets my dear. Thanks once again
