Have a rag handy to block the hole, once you remove the bowl.
*If you are also replacing the blade seal, i would pour some water into the bowl before you remount it. See if the seal is holding .
•If you’re replacing the water valve on the back of the toilet, once you have reinstalled the water line, pressurize the water system to make sure the valve doesn’t leak, then you bolt it down.
