How To Remove A Toilet

Rev. Jay,,,,Rev. Steven here. It sounds like you may be disposing of the seat? If so a hack saw blade and vice grip pliers will work. Especially if the Screw slot at the top has been stripped.
Not a major task, though perhaps accomplished in an uncomfortable position.
Certainly you can drill out the bolt/screw from the top as well.

Get yourself a dremel tool, and slice the plastic away from the nuts, and then, if they will not come loose with a wrench or pliers, simply cut them off, also with the dremel tool...
About 15 minutes tops, and you should have the thing off.
Or, you can take a drill and drill through the top of the screws, and try it that way. They shouldnt move because of the locked "nuts" on the bottom.
I wish you well..

Well, I install toilet seats just about every day, and to get a old stubborn seat off that doesn't want to cone off, is I take a "sawzall" blade and run it through the small space between the toilet bowl and the seat itself and it saws right through the plastic screws. A sawzall blade is just another name for a recipercating saw blade. Use a "metal" cutting blade and not the "wood" one. Good luck.

WD 40 worked great after sitting for 30 minutes then a hand saw!

I tried and tried to remove one myself but my husband finally was able to loosen the nuts with a towel and a wrench. They were pretty much unrecognizable afterwards but who cares?

Used the pictured tool and cut through the plastic screw easily. Do not know actual name of this tool, but it is similar to a mini hack saw.

They are probably hard to grab, but iff'n you can, just remember ***Righty tighty, Lefty loosey***, and crank them off...sometimes they will split and crumble off, but I don't think you have to worry about stripping the threads on the seat bolty-things.

I suggest you try WD-40 as it works on plastic as well as metal.....
