Bev My flange (71SS) screws into the tank. When mine wouldn't unscrew, I put the studs that hold the toilet back in place, drilled matching holes in a 2x4, bolted it down with the toilet nuts, then had some leverage to unscrew the flange. I think I used some wd40 also. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bev Harris" <zia@ix.netcom.com> To: <sslist@tompatterson.com> Sent: Saturday, May 10, 2008 9:44 AM Subject: [SilverStreak] Plumbing help please! > My 1964 SS Sabre has a leak in the copper running under the platform the > toilet sits on.
