Hi all,

im about to replace my bathroom suite, and wish to move my toilet 90degrees onto another wall. I have checked the soil stack and can see it's a plastic one with what appears to be a push fit branch. I understand that twisting it round probably won't work, so I guess the second option is to replace the branch. Is this an easy thing to do, for someone of moderate DIY experience? If so, how do I do it?

Looks like that push fit branch goes into
A glued boss below. You'll need to get under that and renew from there. Soil is fairly easy to do so long as you use lube on push fit glue fitting and pipe on solvent weld and don't forget to chamfer your edges
 
Ive just done this on the last bathroom I've just finished, looks identical

We tried removing the branch but it would not come even though we tried everything,
Had to replace the whole soil stack in the end, easiest and best option
 
someone has used a lot of glue there, probably need to rip out and replace all new bits.
