How do i get started other than removing the toilet??

What is under the tile? A concrete slab or a wood floor? If wood --is there cement board on top of the wood and under the tile? By the way---whatever gets done the toilet will need to be removed and reset after the repairs are complete.---Mike---- __________________ New members: Adding your location to your profile helps in many ways.--M--
