im trying to take the back off but the two bolts that hold each side of the back of the toilet to the bowl part are so incredibly rusted that i cant get anything on them, not a wrench or anything they are just rusted mush. so do i cut them with a sawsall or what?

the nut may have rusted but the bolt is suppose to be made of brass(fairly soft) So I would use a hacksaw blade (by itself)inserted between the tank and the bowl and cut the bolt. Slow but sure. Otherwise you chance breaking the ceramic.

I would use a hacksaw. Work the blade in between the tank and bowl. It will be slower than a saws-all, but safer. With a saws all you risk cracking the tank or bowl.

Saw them off. They are brass which is real soft. They will cut real easy.
