toilet seal replacement

how hard to replace the little sliding toilet seal ,in the bottom of the toilet? does not hold water anymore. Thank you
  • Please take some advise. Replace the entire toilet. Here's my story.

    When we started out on the winter retirement trip, I started fixing the toilet. First it was the pump, then the seal (and the floor gasket), then the seat. At the end of the trip, the only part of the toilet I hadn't fixed was the actual bowl, We didn't tow a car, so every trip to an RV parts store required renting a car. In the end, I paid for a nice china bowl toilet 2 times over.

    You'd have to remove the toilet to work on it, "how hard" this is depends on your abilities and interest ... for some, a PITA, for others a minor task. You haven't indicated just which make / model of toilet you have so your first task would be to confirm you can actually get the replacement part you need, then whether it's worth it to you to fix or whether you'd be better off in the long run to simply replace the entire toilet with a new one.
