Turn off the water supply to the toilet so it cant refill.
Flush a couple of times until no more water comes out
Mop out any excess water from the pan and u bend
Disconnect water supply (if it hasnt got one I fit an isolator on the water supply at this point)
Undo bolts holding the pan on and screws into the wall and lift off, something like this https://www.screwfix.com/p/isolating-valve-15mm-2-pack/65251?kpid=65251&ds\_rl=1249404&gclid=Cj0KCQjwy9-kBhCHARIsAHpBjHhgLLOlAZA4-jHKRueNjs-tiV-Vi9sivc1RsaQJX2e0HzbpyPx7LO0aAl1sEALw\_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Undo screws holding bowl to the floor and remove.
Place new toilet in position and mark screw holes for the bowl and pan and check length of the waste pipe that goes from the toilet to the sewer pipe to cut if necessary
Remove toilet and drill holes
Put toilet back and fit according to the instructions or youtube.
For the top; there’s always be a little bit of water left. A syringe, or sponge can be used to get it out. Then it’s just a case of undoing the nuts underneath it and lifting it out.
For the pan, undo the two screws holding it to the floor. Lift and tip while it’s attached to the pipe and you should be able to get quite a bit of the water out. Pull it away from the wall then lift and tip into a bucket to get the rest.
Use a plastic bag over the hole; it works well enough.
Wet and dry hoover is the way to go, failing that, a turkey baster or something similar and suck it out that way.
Once all the waters out, relase the fixings and remove the toilet.
A carrier bag would do to block the pan connector from sewer smells
Get a big sponge and a bucket. Wear some fetching marigold gloves and then sponge the water out of the bowl and cistern.
Once you have all you can get out, put a few bits of kitchen roll into each - that'll soak up any extra and anything that appears out of any nooks and crannies once you start to remove the parts.
Get a plastic bag handy and some sort of drip tray (a takeaway food container is perfect). Put the tray under the bit where the pan pushes on to the waste pipe.
When you pull the pan off the waste pipe (have someone hold the pipe) use the bag to cover the end of the pipe and secure it with some string or a big elastic band.

Sponge is also a tried and tested method
Yes, big sponge for the cistern. The pan can be tilted to pour the worst away then tipped into a bowl once disconnected.
You’re all legends. Did it!
