I am new here.  I have a broken closet flange that is not screwed to the floor, but leaded to the soil pipe.  Home built in late 20's.  Is there a safe way to remove and replace it.  Flange looks to be of cast iron like the soil pipe?

There's no need to re3place the flange. Most hardware stores sell a flange repair kit, (see image)  Since it's a leaded cast iron flange there's no need to screw it to the floor.  Good luck,  Tom
