An apparatus and method for lifting, moving, aligning and lowering a toilet. The apparatus comprises a base frame having three sides, and a lift frame pivotally attached at a first end to the base frame. The apparatus further comprises a jack device, operatively attached to the lift frame, for selectively lifting and lowering the lift frame, and an arm pivotally attached to the lift frame. In one preferred embodiment, the jack device includes a jack cylinder, a piston concentrically disposed within the jack cylinder, and a U-shaped member. In the most preferred embodiment, the U-shaped member is attached at a first point to the piston, and wherein the U-shaped member is pivotally attached to the lift frame at a second point, so that as the piston extends from the jack cylinder, the lift frame is moved. A total of three (3) pivot point sets are included in the most preferred embodiment. Left and right side alignment tubes may also be included.

I claim: 1. An apparatus for lifting a toilet, the apparatus comprising: a base frame having a first side, a second side and a third side; a lift frame pivotally attached at a first end to said base frame; a jack means, operatively attached to said lift frame, for selectively lifting and lowering said lift frame; an arm pivotally attached to said lift frame; and wherein said jack means comprises a jack cylinder; a piston concentrically disposed within said jack cylinder; and a U-shaped member, said U-shaped member attached at a first point to said piston, and wherein said U-shaped member is pivotally attached to said lift frame at a second point, so that as said piston extends from the jack cylinder, the lift frame is moved. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said arm contains a first rod and a second rod, and wherein the apparatus further comprises: a first railing attaching said first rod with said second rod in order to keep the first rod and the second rod together during lifting. 3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein said lift frame contains a first member and a second member, and wherein the apparatus further comprises: a second railing attaching said first rod with said second rod in order to keep the first rod and the second rod together during lifting. 4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein said base frame contains wheel means, mounted on an underside of said base frame, for transporting said base frame. 5. The apparatus of claim 4 further comprising a means for aligning the base frame, said means for aligning being capable of aligning a toilet base relative to a plurality of bolts extending from a floor flange of a toilet foundation. 6. The apparatus of claim 5 wherein the means for aligning comprises a first tube attached to the first side of the base frame and a second tube attached to the second side of the base frame. 7. The apparatus of claim 4 further comprising: a toilet positioned on said first and second rods, said toilet comprising a toilet base having a plurality of openings; and a means for aligning the base frame, said means for aligning being capable of aligning the openings of the toilet base relative to a plurality of bolts extending from a floor flange of a toilet foundation. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the means for aligning comprises a first tube attached to the first side of the base frame and a second tube attached to the second side of the base frame, said first tube and said second tube configured to fit through the openings of the toilet base. 9. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein said lift frame contains a first member and a second member, and the apparatus further comprises: a second railing attaching said first rod with said second rod in order to keep the first rod and the second rod together during lifting. 10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said base frame contains wheel means, mounted on an underside of said base frame, for transporting said base frame. 11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said jack device is a hydraulic device and said jack cylinder includes a hydraulic inlet and a hydraulic outlet. 12. An apparatus for lifting a toilet, the apparatus comprising: a base frame having a first side, a second side and a third side; a lift frame pivotally attached at a first end to said base frame; a jack device, operatively attached to said lift frame, for selectively lifting and lowering said lift frame; an arm pivotally attached to said lift frame, and wherein said arm includes a first rod and a second rod; a first railing attaching said first rod with said second rod in order to keep the first rod and the second rod together during lifting; and wherein said jack device comprises a jack cylinder; a piston concentrically disposed within said jack cylinder; a U-shaped member attached at a first point to said piston, and wherein said U-shaped member is pivotally attached to said lift frame at a second point so that as said piston extends, the lift frame is moved.
