Hi all

Sure I've seen a link for this but.......
Anyone point me in the direction of a procedure for removing a toilety
please?
The problem is it's the type with a down pointing discharge which has been
mortared very solidly into the flared end of a glazed drain at floor level.
Said drain is concreted into the floor with only the flared section above
ground level.

TIA

Grind it off!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "TheScullster"
saying something like:

Sledgehammery and just lightly tappy the sidesy... wear wellies.

Once you've exposed the stubby part left in the soil pipe, stick a drain
rod down there with a flat rubber doofer on it to catch any bits that
might want fall down. Remove the stubby bit with a chisel (wear goggles,
that stuff is sharp).

Dirty, smelly job. Use overalls gloves and goggles. Plenty of bleach
solution as well. Break main pan up using a hammer. As soon as you can
stuff rags etc down the drain to below the socket to prevent bits going
down drain.Then carefully break up pipe section going drain socket.
When the pan outlet pipe is down near the socket drain start to remove
cement/sand joint by using a hammer & chisel but always work inwards
towards to the pipe opening. If you chisel outwards or downwards you
will break the stoneware socket.

If you do break the pipe socket, (quite usual) you can completely break
out the socket and buy a plastic socket with a spigot where the spigot
has rubber fins which go down inside the drain pipe.
