Wobble toilet

ACE 30.3
The toilet has always been rocky since we got it last November but usable. On our recent 10 day trip wife said the toilet was loose and she feared it would come off. The toilet was high at the back and did not sit flat on the floor. After removing the water line I just picked it up. Flange was broken and whole pipe end is not flush with floor. The darn flange assembly is glued not threaded like the replacement parts. Do i have to open the box it sits on to cut and glue a new part?

We had a wobbly toilet in our Axis. I used one of these to fix it:

There might be less expensive option, but we were out in the middle of nowhere Utah and Amazon was the only place to get it.

As I remember it, I took off the toilet. Removed the screws from the old flange, and used them to put the repair flange on. It was pretty quick fix and solved our wobbly toilet.

Yes i got a metal replacement for the flange. Problem is the pipe the toilet sits on that goes to black tank is 3/4" higher than than the floor. Toilet cannot sit flat on floor with this condition. I made a 3/4" panel just bigger than the base, cut a hole for the pipe end put new flange on that and now is fine and solid. I am 6' tall and when i sit on it now my feet don't touch the floor!

Does this mean that you'll need to take a step-stool in there; to help with the bathroom duties?
