Replacement loo

Hi,
Im redoing the downstair loo.
I want to remove the toilet but have never done one of these before ( quite happy to connect the pipes afterwards etc ) its the pan part.
Do I just unbolt from the floor and pull/wiggle it forward ( its an overhead one so I'll take all that off first and drain ). Also as its a bit of a funny non standard ubend at the bottom, it sits forward a bit I need to buy one of those extender thing ( knuckle? springy thing? ) do I just push that back in and connect the other end to the loo?
Any help welcome.

Yep, thats pretty much it. If you have any doubts, just take a few pics of the current set up and show them to a plumbers merchant to get the correct fitting. The only slightly difficult thing is to undo and re-do the water connection for the cistern. If you have isolating valves it is a lot easier, but you will probably have to look up how to work with compression fittings. Again, plumbers merchant will advise and give you the correct fittings, as you will probably have to re-route the water supply if you currently have a high level cistern.

Going to swap for a all in one toilet. Hopefully fairly easy job ( famous last words )0
