How do you relocate a drain in a concrete slab?
Change how? Move the location, you bust out the concrete and move it. Replace or repair the flange that the toilet hooks to. Cut the existing flange off flush with the floor and install a new repair flange. They can be brass or steel. You can use a PVC one that fits in the drain and seal it with a wax ring under it and screw it to the floor. If you are working with cast iron flange and the slots where the bolts are supposed to go is broken out, they make a repair piece for this. It is a 3/4 inch wide by 3-4 inch long crescent shape piece that slides under the flange and the bolt that holds the toilet fits into it. You may have to chip out a little concrete along the edge to get these under the flange.
How do you remove the broken closet flange from a cast iron drain pipe?
I removed the broken flange by perforating the lead filling between the drain pipe and the flange - i.e., drilling holes every 1/4-1/2 inch or so with a regular drill and then sawing through the filling with a power saber saw. Then pried the flange off with a pry bar. Wasn't as bad as I expected. - Dan
How do you install a regular toilet flange on a cast iron 6 inch sewer pipe?
If you can get to the 6 inch cast iron, you could use a rubber coupler between the cast and the flange. If it is in the concrete, put a piece of 4 inch PVC inside the 6 inch and lead it in like you would a regular cast joint. Leave the 4 inch above the floor and slide the flange over it, screw it down and cut the 4 inch flush with the flange. They make just the flange that will slide over the pipe.
How far from the wall does a toilet drain go in the floor?
12-13 inches to the center of the drain.... make sure your drain pipe is 1/4 inch drop per foot. also use the sweeping y drain if possible. leave lots of room for the flange. mount the toilet after the floor is in.
How do you raise the level of the toilet after tile install?
Depends on how much you need. Sometimes you can just use two wax rings. If that doesn't do it, you can use a PVC toilet flange and use it to make up the difference. Cut it off the right height and use a wax ring between it and the old flange. You cut the old flange out and extend the pipe and a new flange. If you put backer board down first and then the tile, you probably raised the floor level about 3/4 of an inch. Two wax rings with the black funnel insert in them should be enough to seal the toilet to the drain.

Will the toilet install properly if the flange is higher than tile?
Depends on how much higher and how the toilet is made. They are not all the same. A PVC flange is supposed to be above the floor level and will clear. They are about 1/4 inch thick. You can probably get away with up to 3/8 of an inch, but any more than that and the toilet will rock on the drain and eventually leak.
