I just removed the flange
Thanks for your help
I was a day late in reading your post though, and can see it as a better alternative, I actually went and bought one of the Mappe Torches for $50, I don't think the Butane $19 Torch used for copper sweating would remove the lead, in retrospect I should have just bought a small acetylene torch the Mappe Torch was far to hard to adjust, I almost burnt down the house, blue flame, yellow flame, blue flame, yellow flame quite a sycadelic experience.
anyway after scaring my wife and waking the neighbors
I was able to heat the flange enough to pull it straight up with two claw hammers.
The guy at the store recommended using a flange with a rubberboot to attach to the cast iron it looks like it will work nicely,
the only problem is he said I would have to drill through the tile and attach to the subfloor with some screws, but if you look at the underside of the new flange it is not cirular but some funky design, so I will have to cut this funky design in the tile.
Is there another way to mount the flange on tile without cutting the Funky Design or running the tile ?
Sincerely I`m Your Handy Man
