OP has not said what toilet he will be installing. As I posted there is direct replacements without playing with the flange at all.

1. Have a 97 Rexhall Vision 29 and I'm replacing the Thetford stock toilet with a Dometic REv 310 toilet. Got the old one off and I need to spin the toilet flange because the new on lines up typically like a
household toilet with the mounting bolts at 3 and 9(clock) respectively (side to side)as opposed the the 11 and 5 lineup like the Thetford older toilets. I pull all the screws out and can't get the flange up. It is "one" with that "downpipe"(??) that goes into the black tank. I can see that it looks to have been glued (one of the pics shows this). Still would think the whole assembly would lift out. I get some movement in prying it, but don't want to force it. There are no surface screw mounted, all are out. It doesn't seem to be attached to the black tank as when I move it, the tank stays perfectly still. Any thoughts? If it isn't coming out, I could drill holes, turning them into slots for the bolts in the new position I guess. Wouldn't be able to undercut them though to keep them from spinning.
