    No question here. Remove toilet and do repairs from interior. Pulling toilet no big deal, repairing drywall fairly easy. Right now you don't know exactly what you are going to have to do to repair pipe so you don't know how much brick to remove. Repairing brick work much more difficult.

    Repair using a frost proof hose bib.
