[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] can't i just steal one? [/ QUOTE ] Probably. After all, they are pretty much everywhere. [/ QUOTE ] that's what i figured on homedepot.com all the tanks are like >100 USD [/ QUOTE ] I went to the depot on Sunday, and 90% of the toilet tanks there were a lot less that $100. Go to the store dude.[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Unless you are confusing tank with bowl, which I don't think you are.

Re: Broken Toilet
If you actually lifted the toilet off the floor you will probably need to replace the wax ring that seals the toilet to the drain pipe. I have never been able to move a toilet and get those things to seal right.

Re: Broken Toilet
Is it stuck in the toilet or in the drain? Assuming it's in the drain once you have the toilet off if you still can't get at it I would try to hook it with a hanger and pull it out. If that didn't work I would call it a day and phone the plumber.
