the fly screws between the cistern and the toilet have rusted ?

Anyone knows how to loosen rusted in screws between the water tank and the toilet without breaking either?

if you want to seperate cistern from pan spray fly screws with vinegar & leave overnight, in morning get pair of pliers or plumbers grips. waddle slowly.

If you are doing it just to change your toilet, turn cold water mains off/flush toilet/un-couple waste & mains pipe/undo screws on cistern inside/undo pan screws at base then you can foget about first section.
