I'm working on a bathroom remodel and found some subfloor damage when I pulled the toilet and vinyl up. I've cut the brittle portion of the original plywood subfloor around the flange. Initially, I thought I would just replace new plywood in two pieces around the flange so I didn't have to remove it, but it would be more structurally secure if I could remove the flange so the new plywood doesn't have any extra cuts (plus I'll be installing tile afterwards).
I'm curious if anyone can give me any pointers on the best way to remove this thing? Cut it off and replace? I'd like to see if this is something I can tackle on my own before I call in a plumber.
Here's a picture of the flange and pipe. It seems to be copper pipe, but not positive (it is copper color though). And I can't tell if that's a seam right before the bend or not. I'll have to look closer when I get home.
If anyone has had experience with this type of flange and pipe situation, please pass along any info. Much appreciated!
