    My cast iron flange broke. What do I do?
    The flange broke where the one bolt goes through. So I can only bolt the toilet down with 1 bolt. Do I just bolt it down with one bolt and drive on or do I have to replace the flange?

    But never use just one bolt... you WILL have nothing but trouble.
