Removing toilet drain pipe
My wife and I noticed that the lineoleum floor around the toilet in our 1/2 bath was bulging and splitting, which indicated that there was water damage to the subfloor. When we removed the linoleum we found that the plywood subfloor was completely rotted and wet. We removed the subfloor down to the floor boards. The drain pipe which extends up from a cast-iron bell connection was corroded and soft. I'm in the process of trying to remove this pipe and am finding it to be very difficult. I've damaged the pipe beyond repair, so I've passed the point of no return. I need to get (or cut down, if possible) this 4-inch pipe (which I believe is lead) out of the cast iron. I've created a vertical cut into the pipe down to the cast iron, but am having trouble trying to separate the lead pipe out of the cast iron. Is there any easy way to do this, or is there any tools that will help with this?
