We bought an Ove toilet - one piece with hidden flange bolts. The problem is now that the toilet is set we can't reach the flange bolts to bolt down the toilet. Is there a special tool? Do we need a plumber to do this? Is there a special trick? #tiredandfrustrated.

you should be able to reach the bolts from the rear with a deep well socket
you gotta get all double jointed and in a bind..
the socket will only move 1 click at a time...pita

I hate those toilets. What a garbage set up. You have to reach around the back like Frodo said to tighten the bolts. If it's too close to the wall, either just silicone the toilet to the floor, or get a better toilet.

Never understood how a company stays in business with such horrible performance on their products. It's as if the toilet must be installed first, then the walls placed around it.
So, despite the try with the double drive ratchet... the toilet went back to Menards. They took it. Likewise the manager couldn't figure the design either. So.... now the search for another toilet. Must be narrow width - 15 a 16 inches to fit by the sink. Arggggghhh.
