Then use the mini hacksaw and cut around the coupling. Unscrew the deck screws holding the flange to the sub-flooring. The metal ring can now be removed. Next, take the mini hacksaw and cut the ABS coupling to the sewer inlet. Several cuts may need to be made. Now, wedge the flathead screwdriver between the ABS coupling and sewer inlet, twisting to break the glue's seal. Again, with some work, the coupling should be able to be removed. Now that both flange removal scenarios are covered, the next task is to replace the damaged wooden sub-flooring. Mark with a carpenter's square, or straight edge, the area of the floor that needs to be cut out. Make the area large enough so a floor joist on each side of the flange is used for support. Cut out the bad sub-flooring using a power saw set to the sub-flooring's thickness, usually at 3/4's of an inch. Be careful not to cut the floor joists below. When the sub-flooring is removed, supporting struts will need to be installed to give the replacement floor more stability. They must be ... |
