Setting or Resetting a Toilet

From Stephen Hallo III, former About.com Guide

With the wax ring down you are ready to reset the toilet. Lift the toilet up off the paper using the same technique you used to pull it. Make sure to line up the bolts with the holes, a helper comes in handy again here. Once the bolts are lined up press the toilet down, rocking side-to-side and back-and-forth to make sure the seal is uniform. Once the bowl is resting on the floor check to make sure the bowl is resting straight.
