I would like to know how to remove old toilet flange(PVC).  The old flange is rusted and broke.  I just had a new ceramic floor installed and do not want to damage it.  I tried to buy a replacement ring that just bolts over the old flange but the placement of the mounting bolts would over lap onto the new floor.  
 
I would like to know how to remove the old glued in PVC flange to replace it with a new one?  Help please!!

That is a too late not easy job unless you can get access to the waste connection below the floor. I am a little confused. What is rusty if that old flange is PVC?  Nm:)

If it is a metal flange ring on the ABS WC collar, that may be switched.
