    Replace toilet flange
    I would like to know how to remove old toilet flange(PVC). The old flange is rusted and broke. I just had a new ceramic floor installed and do not want to damage it. I tried to buy a replacement ring that just bolts over the old flange but the placement of the mounting bolts would over lap onto the new floor.

    I would like to know how to remove the old glued in PVC flange to replace it with a new one? Help please!!

    That is a too late not easy job unless you can get access to the waste connection below the floor. I am a little confused. What is rusty if that old flange is PVC? Nm:)

    If it is a metal flange ring on the ABS WC collar, that may be switched.
