I am replacing the flooring and toilet in my upstairs bathroom.  The underlayment is in good shape under the toilet flange, so I don't plan on replacing it.  But the flange is broken.  I've removed the flange bolts, but the flange is glued to the pipes.  I can't get it off.  Is there an easy way to get a flange off that is glued?  Both my flange and the pipe are made of white PVC.

They make metal parts that can be drilled over the broken flange.  I had this question on here before, but still can't remember what they are called.  Give me a sec...
