[VAL] 61 Bambi Shower Pan Removal



I have a question for those who have taken out your shower pans. I have a 
1961 Bambi. I am having to pull the shower and stool out to repair a bad 
floor.  I have removed all  of the vent stack and supporting water ways for 
the gray water. So I have infront of me a raised area that supports the 
stool and a lower area which contains the drain for the shower. My toilet 
flange, quite rusted and now I am wondering just how to extract the flange 
and then be able to lift out the shower pan.

This trailer still has the original black tank which appears to be in good 
condition no leaks yet. My question is does anyone know if the flange is 
threaded to the tank or glued in? Has anyone successfully removed their 
flange? What is the trick for doing this?

Along with this question, as I removed the seal and junk around the pan, the 
area on the outside edge of the pan, there is as much as 1in. of space 
between the trailer wall and the pan. My question is; What should I use to 
close this open space when I reinstall the pan?

Does anyone know of a source for trim around the pan and trailer walls?
Summry:
In a 60's model, is the stool  flange glued or is it threaded to the tank?

Has anyone successfully removed the stool flange from a 60's model?

What is the trick for removing the stool flange?

Are there any suggestions for filling the space around the shower pan (area 
between the pan and trailer walls)?

Does someone know a source for the trim (seal) needed to keep water from 
geting between the pan and the walls of the trailer and then down to the new 
floor?
