Hi,
I've read quite a few threads on this forum about this, so I think I know what I need to do, but can someone just confirm.
I am replacing my toilet with a new one, the plastic soil pipe comes out of the concrete floor a few cm too far from the wall, so the existing 90 deg bend causes my new toilet pan to stick out with a gap behind to the wall.

I've seen people suggesting using a swan neck pan connector (like http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/435193, or http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/plumbing...r-Low-Level-71190001-White-9270934?icamp=recs)which I think should help me here, but I was wondering how I fit it?
Can I cut the existing vertical soil pipe and push the connector into it? Are the fins there to create a seal? The soil pipe is 110mm, am I right in thinking that the bottom of the swan neck connector is narrower than this to fit inside?
Is there any gotchas or things I need to bear in mind before I take a hacksaw to the soil pipe?
Cheers
Rich
