So I'm redoing the floor in my bathroom, and the closet flange (PVC) is attached to a 1/2" plywood subfloor. It had 5/8" plywood stapled to the subfloor and vinyl glued to that, which I removed. I'm planning on putting down 1/2" plywood then 1/4" backerboard for tile. My question is what to do about the flange? It was not raised up for the vinyl, and the how-to books I've looked at say you can use spacers, but the guys at the big box stores suggest cutting it off and putting a new one on, but I don't have access to the underside unless I try to rip up the subfloor... thoughts?
Thanks, Mike
