Hi,
I could use some advice on how to proceed with a current project i'm working on.
I had a wobbly toilet. When i pulled it off, I found a cast iron flange that is sitting at a pretty steep angle.
Once I scraped off all the wax, i can see lead that is mashed down over the flange as well as a lead pipe going into the hole. The lead pipe has a break along the seam and it looks like someone attempted to fix it before by sticking in a black rubber funnel looking gasket.
I need some help figuring out the right way to fix this. After reading through threads on here it looks like I have a lead closet flange. It also looks like this feeds into a pvc pipe. This is going through a slab foundation.
What is the best way to approach fixing this so I can get a level toilet with no holes in the waste pipe?
1) I know i can bust off the cast iron flange
2) Should I be shooting for removing the lead closet flange?
3) How is the lead closet flange attached to the pvc within.... Is it glued?
Or am I going about this all wrong and there is a better way?
