Yes, I have done it. Call me "Plumber Steve."
I have tackled the toilet, and emerged victorious. I have taught it its place-- I leak, not it. After replacing the gasket between the tank and the bowl (the flash of pinkish-red, look hard- it's there!), it thought it could best me by springing a new leak from its feeder pipe, but it was not to be.
With the words of advice from a Home Hardware (Home of the Handyman, Gary, actually) employee I valiantly and courageously removed the feeder pipe, and replaced it wth, that's right, a brand-new pipe. But not any pipe. No siree. This ersatz plumber was not satisfied with the status quo. This new pipe is a flexible pipe.
You can expect to hear of "Steve's Plumbing and Teaching Services" any time soon, I think.

Well done, good sir!
I have a problem with my toilet in that the right side (if you're sittig on it) mounting bolt (it's brass, and it has a name better than "mounting," i'm sure) has broken and requires replacement.
Care to help?
I'd give a hardware store a call. Preferably a locally owned place, but one like Home Hardware or Home Depot is good too, as the people there often know what they're talking about (as opposed to Canadian Tire, which may have the supplies, but I find I often know more about what's wrong and how to fix it than the employees do.)
