toilet
Hello, I have a 1988 Automate 5th. And this will be my first repair job on a toilet. I have to pull out the toilet cause it is leaking. I am going to rip out the carpet and put tile or anulium down. ...

I can't believe any mfg would make a solid connection tween the wax flange, and the tank. My flange has a 6" long pipe glued into it, then pushes thru a rubber tank bushing, then screwed to the floor. Any changes made to floor or carpet, the pipe simply moves up/dwn inside the bushing.
WhenI got my MH, the turlet and flange was mounted on top of thick carpet and pad,.....wobbled around like a fish outta water. I marking pencil'd a line all around the turlet base, removed the turlet and flange, cut out the carpet, then screwed everything down to the solid floor,.......no more wobble !! The pipe in the rubber bushing was a godsend. And the dealer says those "pipe in bushing" never leak.
Trust me, mine is cemented to the top of the black tank and screwed down through the carpet. When you hack out the carpet and padding there is a significant gap to fill so you don't break the neck off the tank by supporting the toilet by the flange. And it's not a wax ring. The toilet does not seal to the floor like at home. It sits on the flange and there's a rubber seal on the toilet itself to seal it.
