Thanks for the replies guys!
The flange is glued to the riser pipe.
Common problem with easy fix.
They make a flange repair ring which covers the existing broken flange and uses screws into existing subfloor (provided the sub floor is in good condition) to attach without the need to cut out and replace the old flange.
Looks like this..
Found HERE for $10.
See HERE on how to install this repair flange.
Now, do be aware, RV toilets use a foam rubber gasket, home toilets use a wax gasket. Since the repair goes over top of the old existing flange, you will need to use some sealant between the old flange and the repair flange. The foam gasket may or may not spread enough like wax gaskets do.
Would suggest also buy a new foam gasket, for good measure.
There are also "spanner" flange repair parts which slip under the good edges of your existing broken flange and also needs screwed into the subfloor..
Looks like this..
Found HERE for around $14 (might have to buy two in your case).
Note, since your tank may be directly under the flange, be careful on the length of screws you use. Don't want to screw right into the top of the tank, that would be a far more expensive repair!
