How to Fix a Toilet - Wooden Sub-Flooring Flange Repair - Part 3 of 3

[mtlgirl]

Thank you so much for posting this as I need to replace the sub floor of my toilet. Also informing us to measure the waste pipe to buy the right size floor flange.

They have come out with a floor flange that fits into 3 inch pipe.It is handy and would work fine on this application if you do not want to get into picking the abs joint that can be a little project if you are not careful. I have picked several abs joints and when doing so just make 2 saw cuts in the pipe about 3/8ths of an inch wide being careful not to cut to deep into the fitting.Then take a hammer and common screwdriver and brake away the 3/8th strip and continue with the pipe.Good luck

Hugely helpful...I used a Dremmel tool with a 1.5" cutting blade instead of drilling. to remove the flange. If you don't have Dremmel. Go buy one NOW before you start. It only took 7 minutes or so to complete.

10$ Knees pads are worth every penny for doing this work.

Great set of videos!

Great instructions. My bathroom project is almost exactly what you're doing here, so it's great to see how to fix it. It started with a loose toilet, which turned into a cracked ceramic tile underlayment, which turned into a rotted sub floor, and now I'm deep into the most involved home repair I've ever undertaken.

I watched all 3 sections of this and learned a lot. Thanks for the great video. I've never been so excited to see the hole under a toilet.
