Removing a toilet flange?
We have to remove the existing flange from the toilet to put a new one. The problem is, it is cemented over the metal stink pipe thing. So what tools can be used and how? Thanks.
You don't have to remove the old one. Mine was messed up, but the floor is concrete, so I measured the spread of the two toilet bolts and simply drilled two holes in the floor where the old bolts were broken off and cemented replacement bolts in place.
I made sure the floor was level across where the toilet was seated and put the wax donut down and set the new toilet over the new bolts, then caulked around the toilet and gently tightened the nuts over the toilet wings.
What really matters is the floor and toilet bottom mate flat all the way around. With a straight edge, check your toilet first. It should be straight. If it isn't you should take it back. You WILL have trouble if the bottom of the toilet is not flat and true. Then do whatever you have to to make the floor absolutely flat and true where the toilet sits. Usually grey mortar and a steel yard stick are enough to make a flat surface for the toilet to sit.
