Put this in the remodel forum, but I'm not sure where it should go -- sorry for the repetition!

Greetings!
I'm in the middle of a bathroom remodel and am replacing some DWV lines with PVC, to be joined with a cast-iron stack. My current bath/shower drain is 1.5" galvanized and I'm replacing it with a 2" line for a corner shower. I'm trying to figure out the best way to maintain 2" to the stack and was wondering how difficult it is to remove the lead/oakum in a 3" sanitary wye (what the existing 1.5" drain ties into).
I've done a couple of searches and it seems like this shouldn't be too difficult, but I'd love to get some backup on that. I need to get the wye clean enough to accept a no-hub or a donut for new 2" drain.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Marcus
