What happens here

The first step involves removing the damaged or broken flexible PVC pipe from its connection point within the rigid PVC hub. Start by using PVC pipe cutters to cut off the accessible part of the flexible PVC pipe as close to the hub as possible. Next, using a cordless drill fitted with an auger-style drill bit (often just a large drill bit can function this way if carefully used), carefully auger out the remaining flexible PVC material from the inside of the rigid PVC hub. This method allows you to remove the old pipe without damaging the hub itself. Periodically check the progress and remove any peeled-out PVC debris by hand or with a utility knife to ensure the hub is clean and ready for a new connection.

Goal: Cleanly remove remnants of the old flexible PVC pipe from the rigid PVC hub.
