I am trying to put in a new toilet. When I removed the old one, there was only a toilet flange repair ring in place, which was severly corroded. I removed the ring. However, the pipe is a lead pipe with a slight bent in the pipe on one side. It is 4" Diameter, but a 4" flange will not fit. A 3" flange will fit inside the lead pipe, but is uneven because the concrete floor is a little uneven. I thought about putting a toilet flange closet repair ring, which was what was there before, back in place. I drilled holes in the concrete to anchor down the toilet repair ring to the concrete floor. Then I put the wax ring on top of this? Will this work or will my toilet leak? I did buy closet bolts to put under the ring to anchor the toilet down. Am I missing any steps? I tried looking this up online, but only found people using toilet closet flanges, not a repair ring only. Thank you.
