    Toilet flange removal and replace

    The waste pipe is 3.0 inch and I believe the flange fits over the 3.0 inch. The waste pipe is located between 2 , 2x10 joist with about 1/2 clearance. Does not seem to be room to cut the pipe to remove the flange from below the floor. . Can this be cut from above and from inside the pipe. Chuck
