I've used a pairing knife, single edge cut-throat blades, and even a long wire and can't get the caulked toilet sour a tile floor. Short of busting the tile are there any clever ideas or tools to try? Yes, the nuts are removed from the ring bolts so the single thing holding it down is the caulk...
You are on the right track with the pare knife. Instead, use a good utility wound, with a new blade, to cut through the caulk, after try working the toilet side to side and back & forth until it gives. If you own a helper, try getting it started with a small pri-bar or full-size screwdriver, and working it while your partner rocks the toilet. Patience...it will come up. Cut around the toilet with utility knife kind 2 or 3 passes than gently rock toilet not here and right it will break loose.
Good Luck
Go around the fund part of the toilet and use a chisel and hammer and see if u can work it surrounded by, to hammer the chisel. You have to pry it loose. There is a slight coincidence if not done properly will crack toilet or the tile. A Big prying bar will also do the trick. If u can work it contained by the base. Sounds like they tile it around the underside of the toilet and u have to chisel inward of the grout and pry it off that path. I once had a customer who add a 1" cement to the total floor and its buried in the floor. So what I did was I have to buy another toilet because the old one had to be replaced anyway. Therfore, I kicked the elderly one loose and replace it with a new one. The first hypothesis is good. Myself, I've taken a large tape knife and hitting the handle near a hammer have3 broken the caulking seal. But doing it this bearing, you have to be careful that you don't use any prying pressure of the bowl might break, and hitting your fingers beside the hammer is much better that missing and hitting the porcelean.
Answers: There is a tool called a glazier railing that is available in the paint department at Home Depot. It's a tapered flat bar about 10" long, Using a utility stick, clear enough space to insert the tip of the bar beneath the toilet. Gently work your knife and bar around the toilet, one careful not to pry too hard. This will cart a little time, but it should break the seal. Good luck.
just use a regular untility knife works in recent times fine with new blade
