How do you remove this toilet to access the wall behind it.  The screws were removed but the plumbing under it is so tight that you can not move the toilet out to the way?  Want want change the fresh water pump to a salt water pump.

I just installed two of these and found the connections easy to make
with the head just slightly away from the wall, then slid back into
place.  The discharge line is quite flexible.  That said, it's really
all about how the installer chose to run the lines, including the fresh
water connection.  Our fresh connections are PEX, which are also
flexible enough to move a bit.  You might call Nordic Tugs and ask how
they made the connections.

Also, if you don't already have them, download the installation diagrams
from Tecma -- it helps to visualize what you need to reach.  The
discharge is clamped (worm-drive hose clamps) to a duckbill-style check
valve, and the fresh solenoid is held onto the bowl with a spring clamp.
