I discovered my toilet was leaking through the floor into the crawlspace and have removed the toilet and part(?) of the toilet flange. I have attached a picture that shows I have removed an outer, very corroded, metal ring that was nailed to the floor but there remains a plastic piece that reads "4x3 Ring Must Be Attached To Floor". I am assuming that this inner plastic piece is also part of the flange but I want verification before I work on it. The piece extends down as you can see in the closeup picture and I lifted on it and it seems to be pretty secure to the soil pipe. I am not sure if it is glued to the pipe or threaded in or what. Is it an adapter that is part of the pipe?
My other question is about the subfloor which is what the old flange sat on. It is pretty wet and I question how well screws will hold in it. Replacing wood would greatly complicate this. Thanks for any help!
