In prep for mounting a new flapper, what’s the best way to remove the metal ring and flapper which was adhered down to the old ceramic tank on the stool all those decades ago so the replacement can be made?View Image View ImageView ImageView Image

If your talking about a toilet flapper, I'd be careful about using a heat gun on the toilet.
You might end up cracking the porcelain if it gets too hot.
Of course, if it was me doing it, I'd end up breaking the toilet anyway during the repair, and end up getting a new one.
Just the flapper or the whole douglas valve?
I wouldn't worry too much about heat since the bowl & tank are fired viterous china--------BUT if there is a fision in the china & ya got moisture then it will pop.
Do you look to the government for an entitlement, or to GOD for empowerment. BDW
put something on the bottom of the tank to spread the load and pry it off
