On mine if I wished to replace it I will give you the entire process. Note mine is one of the harder models to replace.
First turn off water and open low point drain (cold line only) this is simply to prevent having to clean up the water.
Crack the plastic "Shroud' around the base of the toilet
Pull the cap off the top and pull the water jet line out of the bowel.. Let hang
Loosen belly band on toilet remove the clamps it holds remove bowel and remove it from RV.
Remove 4 bolts from base, disconnect water line from flush valve and remove base and set outside.
Set new base/pedistal in place and bolt in, re-conenct fresh water line, you may close the low point drain at this time but don't restore water yet.
Depending on the toilet you may need to re-attach the top half (Bowel) and the base shroud (optional, I tossed mine a long time ago) and once all assembled, restore water and check for leaks and operation.
I have this planned for next year.. Though the job will be a bit more invovled since I need to do some carpentry at the same time.
