Guys, I posted this in Bathrooms and Tubs...but I think this is more a plumbing question than a remodel one. So I hope you don't mind me posting again here.
A 1" high lavatory pitted flange I want to replace. Closed bathroom,
no windows...20 years of hardwater.
It ain't budging off the threads. Tho I didn't have a strap wrench handy...the
channel lock pliers I used gripped pretty well. Plenty of muscle torque.
I let it soak with CLR for awhile. Not long enuff?
What do you guys do in this case? I'm a painting contractor and I'm pretty
handy guy. I'm thinking of taking my Dremel Tool with the small circular ceramic
cut off blade and just going at the sucker. I'm thinking of cutting straight down
(on the side) and then prying it off.
I don't care about damage to nipple...replacing it.
Does this sound like the plan?
