Yes, it will be cut to get rid of the deformed section and the amount will depend on the reins again.
Cut with a saw or Sawzall blade with a cutting of thin metal.
How do you replace the belts can you use a propane torch to solder the initiative of the flange. These provide a solid joint and a fixed mounting in the bathroom. As a result for cutting the pipe, which is easily done with a knife.
You can use a jigsaw or reduce the amount of lead pipe on the floor. If necessary, Lowes and Home Depot sells cheap adapter flange.
This could be a qualified repair by a plumber! Sometimes we have DIY-ERS is too deeply in the work before werealize really saves time, money and effort to the qualified contractor to pay! If you insist on DIY, paper towels in the escape of material to the stench of sewer gas block! And now, before the toilet seat!
The simplest
The pipeline will be laid must be reformed and the new ring around him, and new bathroom must be measured to ensure the lead pipe that fits into the toilet!
The hard way:
Reform of the lead pipe to ensure, by tapping with a ball of reform, and not break it! Then use the power of Jigsaw (to rent, or $ 59 of goods at the port of tools) on the tube, maybe not cut to the ground.
Why is the fine tuning needed!:
The modern toilet is located on a console, and uses a sealing ring, often of soft wax. You want to ensure that no gas leak and escape so fluid, so you need a new ring flange.
For tthe flange ring to fit properly, you should see that you think that fits without prevented through the pipeline. Have to do the cut and lose less time, the more secure the job!
Wear rubber gloves, goggles and a mask, because although it hit a fan at the **** fly!
Get all your part, try a dry etching, and then you may have with your hand and press the cut parts so that the joint is gas tight!
