Toilet flange replacement with spigot flange
What happens here
After cutting, remove any large chunks of the old ABS pipe or flange that remain. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry out stubborn pieces and channel locks to grip and pull them away from the drain opening. Be thorough to ensure all loose debris and segments of the old flange are cleared. This step reveals the clean, cut edge of the existing pipe, ready for the new flange.
