Pardon my inexperience here....I'm not even sure my terminology is correct. Corrections are welcome.
I am replacing a rear-outlet toilet and am wondering if this cast iron (?) flange is still useable? (see picture below) It looks a little damaged, but it seems much easier to just reuse it with a new wax ring than replace it.
If I do have to replace it, am I correct in assuming I have to somehow remove the old flange and replace with a PVC-to-cast pipe twist and set flange? I've seen a few forums on this. Some say to just take a hammer and crack the flange and pull it out, others say drill holes in the lead around the flange until it comes out. What's the best way to remove it?
Thanks in advance
