Re: [VAL] Overlander Toilet Question



Likewise, I have a problem removing the original toilet from my '66
Overlander. I have everything removed now, but the toilet. I have the two
nuts removed and the two bolts holding down the toilet are completely loose,
but I can not get the toilet free from the floor. When I pull up on it the
entire black tank assembly and sewer drain move with it. I'm not sure what
is holding it in place. The plywood is 85% rotted out, and I am certain that
if I really put my back into it I could rip the toilet up from the floor,
but I don't want to damage the black tank if I can help it. I may or may not
keep the toilet (it worked fairly well, but leaked at the water inlet), but
I have to get it off to work on the plywood floor. Any ideas? Is there a
metal ring under the toilet base? Is the ring corroded, and is the corrosion
holding the toilet in place?
