I am remodeling my bathroom and need to remove the original (cast iron) toilet flange to install the new subfloor. From what I've heard, removing the flange from the pipe is not trivial.
My question is whether I might be better off removing the whole drain pipe which runs straight down into an unfinished basement below the bathroom (I've attached a picture below). If this is preferable, would I unscrew the cast-iron pipe (is that even possible) and screw a new PVC section into the existing fitting? Or, would I cut the cast iron pipe and put in a new piece using a coupler?
Thoughts?
