This is my first time attempting anything like this.
The lead bend was cracked, and I with all the information I learned on this site I was able to remove it by drilling out the lead around the bell and chipping the brass out with a hammer and chisel.
This is where I am right now. I've ordered a 4" donut, the supply house did not have an XH in stock. And will use a 3" flush bushing.
I need assistance with figuring out the fittings needed to pipe this straight up to the closet flange.
I don't know what angle the bell is at, its not 45 or 22.5. If I put together a 60 degree elbow and a 22.5 degree elbow it looks like I get it close but a level tells me not quite.
The other problem I have right now is the multiple fittings is shifting the location of the closet flange from its original location.
So what can I try before calling a plumber ? It looks like the original lead bend was massaged some and the brass ferrule was cocked at an angle when it was leaded in.
I am hoping someone has seen this before.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
