Hope fully one of you kind gentlemen have had this very problem and can help me out here.
I had to take the Toilet pan out to replace the pan connector that had developed a leak. The first problem was the screws that fasten the pan to the tiled concrete floor would not budge, so much so that I ended up stripping the pozi drive heads of the screws, so my next idea was to cut away the nylon bushes that protect the pan with a stanley knife and a very narrow screw driver, which i successfully did, and then lifted the pan off the screws to expose a good portion of the screws so that I could get some mole grips on them and extract them that way, or so I thought! The screws sheared off at tile level because they were seized and corroded, so I`m now left with screw stubs in a plastic plug in the floor and now cannot secure the pan to the floor until I remove the screw remenents. For now I have a toilet that is not fixed down and can move if you`re not careful, has any one any idea how to remove these screw stubs so that I can put fresh screws in?
Thanks in advance.
