Abstract: A method and associated reusable apparatus providing for efficiently, but removably mounting a toilet bowl base to the flange of a soil pipe projecting through the floor and which uses steps requiring no skills, tools or judgment to accomplish. A pre-existing color matched decorative cover cap is employed. An eccentric c-shaped resilient retaining clamp is placed in alignment with an aperture in the soil type flange, a prethreaded headless mounting stud is inserted and manually adjusted to an appropriate height to prevent interference with the pre-existing cover cap and to compensate for uncertain height of the soil pipe flange above the floor surface, the toilet bowl base is placed in position, is fastened using a wing nut which is hand tightened to avoid excessive axial pressure that would crack the toilet bowl base, and the pre-existing cover cap is then placed thereover.
