The stomp! I wasn’t ready. 😂 but thanks for sharing!

[@fitzworld]

Thank you for your video. It was very helpful. I wasn't sure if it was possible to separate a flange from a pipe to which it had been glued but seeing you knock it out gave me the courage to go for it. I started out using my reciprocating saw but it seemed like overkill so I switched over to my Dremel and it cut like butter! Thanks for your tips.

I did one like you saw and beat out pieces. Second one I used heatgun and pealed it out, so much easier and cleaner, inside pipe looked like new no scarring.

Thanks for making this video. I really appreciated not skipping over the hard parts like chipping the old flange out of there. Well done!

What are you using to prime the areas?

[@rayjaypaulsen]

That was a impressive job you did! Made it look so easy Tim! Try to stay cool at work! Take care my friend! Looking forward for your next video.

[@PLUMBINGWITHTIM]

Thanks Ray you too

[@sinclairal]

This worked perfect! Thanks so much!

[@derekw40]

Thank you so much for this video. It is exactly what I needed.

[@derekw40]

I will say. My project DID NOT go as smooth as yours. I had a serious tough time separating the flange from the pipe.

[@kikibellebubba1248]

i saw that spanner flange at the end, that would have worked too. Nice job on cutting out the old broken flange, I usually don't get that lucky.

[@hapetaa]

How would you remove the flange if it was glued outside of pipe? please help me as mine is outside of the pipe.

[@highpockets82]

Thanks!

[@javiderek31]

How would I go about fixing it if it’s over the pipe? I can’t chip it away

[@saldanakev]

Thank you for the helpful tips

[@gyver471]

Why not get a fix it ring?

[@briansippel770]

The flange should sit on top of the finished floor.

[@rickhaupt1895]

Great video -- thanks!

[@bertanatorful]

Closet flange are supposed to be installed on top of finished surface. You should of installed a spacer underneath the 4 & 3 flange and tapcoms.

[@GK-ol3yi]

Great vid Tim, you STOMP that nasty flange! I'm dreading this one: I've got an outside flange, i.e. a 4" flange around a 3" pipe, and the thing has to go - never did that one before. Also gotta fill in the unreal concrete void around the pipe left by the original builder about 30 years ago. (Looks like they roughed it at 10", said 'whoops' then busted it out to about 11 1/4" and um forgot to back-fill the giant void they left.) Anyway, ya got a vid or other input on outside flange removal? any tips or tricks... or should I just sell the house. Thanks Tim, and keep 'em coming. Enjoyed it.

[@derekw40]

Should that void be filled ?

[@tjblydenburgh9188]

I was hoping to find a faster way to do this but everyone does it the same way I do

[@fastway007]

Suppose to screw to subfloor and flange looked low.... just sayin

[@porkchop1343]

Why would you put in the same type of flange.. is just gonna break again

[@PLUMBINGWITHTIM]

What would you suggest?
