you have to pull the entire toliet up. Then hopefully the bolts are all that are rusted. the metal (or plastic) flange the toliet carriage head style bolts run into, may be bad also. If this is the case, you will need a plumber, or elevate yourself to a higher degree of knowledge and skill to replace the flange. if just the bolts are bad, you can easily purchase new brass bolts made for toliet hold down, for about $2.00. Some older homes do not have the flange, and the bolts actually have wood screw threads on opposite end. these can be ourcahsed also, and the new bolts just run into the wood floor. However, all older home wood floors with this type of bolts i have wiorked on, the floor is so rotten, ity has to be replaced also. once again, if this is the case, a rotten floor, you need a plumber (carpenter) or have to elevate your knowledge and skill levet to tackle this isssue. if you master the toliet pull alone, make sure to always use a new wax seal gasket, they csot between $1.00 and $5.00. using the old wax gasket will only bring you leaks when you flush.

If 1 percent of the bolts made by an automotive factory are defective what is the probability that in a shipment of 175 bolts there are 6 defective bolts?
If 1% of the bolts are defective, then the probability is that close to 2 bolts will be defective if there are 175 bolts. The actual probability is that 1.75 bolts will be defective, but you can not have 3/4 of a bolt. However you know there are going to be runs when you have no errors and runs when you have several error. You would need to make 300 bolts in order to have a run of 125 with no errors to have 3 defective bolts in a run of 1.75 bolts. Likewise, you would need to make a minimum of 600 bolts to have six defective bolts in 1.75 bolts. Then you would have 425 good bolts. However, you are dealing with probabilities, not with getting the machinery started the first thing in the morning. Since there is a 1% error rate, you must assume this is a random rate. It occurs like dice or a coin flip. With the last coin tossed, you have no idea what the next coin flip will be. It is not like the next coin flip will be the opposite. Using the Monte Carlo method, I got .29%. Good luck

Is it easy to remove a toilet with rusted bolts?
It can vary... if the bolt is really rusted it will keep turning in the flange because it won't catch (stripped out). If this is the case, you may need to use a hacksaw to cut the nuts on the top, away from the porcelain (if they won't turn with a crescent wrench). Then you would have to use an adjustable jaws pliers or a set of vice grips to turn and remove what's left of the bolt. Pro tip: Take the tank off of the toilet as this makes it lighter
