Am in the process of having vinyl floors removed and tile put down in 2 bathrooms. I've got 2 new Toto Gwyneths to put in.
The problem, if there is one, is the closet bolts, which are stuck in the flange. The installers used the open slots in the sides of the flange rather than the keyhole-shaped long circumferential slots, and I can't seem to budge the bolts. I guess it'll be OK if the new floor height isn't too high after tile put in but there is a possibility the bolts will be too short.
I do have spacer rings and Fluidmaster waxless gaskets (probably will use the Fluidmaster gaskets) so have that end of the deal covered - just not sure what to do about the bolts.
Any suggestions? How might they be stuck in the flange?
