Description
My toilet had a wobble,
So I lifted the bowl in order to change the the wax ring.
Unfortunately, I realized the closet flange wa broken.
Oddly, this image reminds me of public restrooms in italy.
According to the internet, this is not easy to fix, or is it...

If your on a slap then it will be more work then with a wood floor where you can go under the house. Never changed on in a slap. But that flange should be flush with the floor. It looks in yout other picture that it is up about the floor a little like maybe a 1/8 or so. So when you put a new on in if you can not make it flush and it sticks up above the floor that small amount of a 1/8" then when you set the toilet snig it down by the bolts. Then seat on it and then see if it rocks side to side. If it does you may be able to tighted it down more with the bolts but you do not want to over do it or your crack the toilet. Get some or make some shims. I have done this with floor lino because if you get it you can fold it if need be and double it up etc and then place it around the toilet rim when it is on the floor so it is just inside the edge so once you caulk around the sdge you will not see it. But then if you use the lino hammer in it to pack it down good before you put it under the the toilet so you know it will not get compressed more later on. This will help on on high and low spots and stop the toilet from rocking.
