    Remove rusted shower flange
    Pulled up shower floor and am ready to pour new shower floor, but the shower drain flange is severely rusted with one broken bolt. How can I remove the old flange from the stand pipe to install new flange?
    Thank you

    First, tell us what kind of pipe you have: Plastic or Metal ? Or even better: Can you snap a photo of this drain and post it for us to see ? It would be very helpful in determining how to advise you. Back to you... Milo
