In most cases you do not have to remove the toilet from the floor, But you will have to remove the tank from the bowl. Some have 2 bolts and others have 3, with one in the back, that may be hard to remove with the toilet against the wall. You should buy a new tank to bowl kit before you start. Bolts and nuts are different sizes, so find o wrench that fits the nuts under the tank,	If you are lucky the nut will turn, and the whole bolt will not turn. Oh YA! you may want to use rubber gloves. (remember all those times you missed) That's why the bolts may not turn. So don't Get Pissed off. (pardon the pun) if the nut will not come off the bolt, just get a 1/4" or a 3/8" drill bit and drill right through the center of the top of the bolt that is in the tank. The bolt will just drop out.
