Re: [VAC] Plumbing woes
Hi Leslie and Janis,
In the restoration of my 66 Trade Wind (TWLY), The
safest way I found to remove the toilet floor flange was to carfully saw the
threaded portion of the flange in 4 places, essentially cutting it into 4 pie
shaped pieces as pictured below.
Take your time with a sawsall and watch the blade
depth as you cut. The trick is to only saw through enough to break out the
pieces hanging on by the outside edge of the threads so you dont cut into the
threaded plastic flange on the tank. The cast iron flange although corroded is
still plenty sturdy and if you try to unscrew it with a hammer you will
break the tank.
GOOD LUCK
WAM
