Question

Oh boy, we have a problem. After pulling the toilet, replacing the wax ring and tightening the toilet to the floor, one of the bolts broke off from the floor. This is an older house, about 23years old. The bolt was rusted. Are there any kits to fix this? As you can tell, I don't have a clue! Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Zetamom

Cool

Are you just talking about the bolts that stick up from the flange through the base of the toilet?
NO problem.
Just go get a new set of two brass toilet bolts (also comes with new washers and nuts). The heads just stick down through and slide around in side slots of the flange until they are at 3 and 9 o'clock.
EASY fix! (Get a new wax seal while you're at it. You're going to need another when you pull the toielt up to replace the bolts.)
Good Luck!
Mike
