I totally missed that! Good catch.

It appears that it is either an offset toilet flange or a 45* flange. Either way it will be most difficult to replace.

You should probably put in a spanner flange or a "ring". Inexpensive, and as long as you have solid flooring to put some screws into, it will last a very long time.

I like the idea of bolting the flange to the floor, but I will have to drill through the tile they installed to get to something usable. And if/when I do this, I will likely take the dremel and cut off the top of the old flange as well.

Thanks for the insight on the other flange type.

Brad, you could purchase a Super Flange. It is a thin metal ring with mounting holes and it completly covers the old flange. Click on the link below for a picture.
