The cost to replace just the toilet flange is around $5. The tricky part is knowing how to install it. If you use an outside source the cost will go up accordingly.

What are the processes of toilet repair?
The processes of toilet repair would depend on a few factors. They would include whether one would want to repair the tank or the seat, the type of toilet, and the issue with the toilet.
How hard is it to turn a set toilet 90 degrees to face a different direction?
It depends on the flange used and how hard it is to move the supply line. Without looking at the job it is impossible to tell. Some toilet flanges have a second mounting point 90 degrees apart, others can have the screws taken out and the mounting ring can then be turned 90 degrees, some have no provision for movement. You would have to remove the toilet to see what you have. If the flange cannot turn or it is in too bad condition (rusted out) you will have to replace it or use a flange repair ring. it depends on the circumstances. If there is room to put an extention flange on it would be easy. if not it depends on your pipe size running to the toilet, if the bottom of the flange is accessable or many other factors.
Should the closet flange be level with the floor or be 14 inches higher than the floor?
Sure. Either way. The wax ring seals the toilet to the closet flange so it doesn't really matter that much. The important part is that the toilet be mounted firmly to the floor so that it doesn't move. That would cause the wax ring to fail then the toilet would leak around the flange.
How do you remove the broken closet flange from inside an ABS black pipe or is there an adapter that would fix the outside of the pipe?

sounds like the wax ring did not take or the flange is not set right
Distance to the center of toilet flange to back wall?
most toilets are set for a 12" inch rough in, that means before sheet rock and against a wood framed wall you would set your toilet flange 12 inches to the center of the flange to the edge of the wall and if you have something in your way like a floor joist or other you can buy a 10" rough in toilet or you can use a offset toilet flange which will offset your drain pipe from your flange to about 2 inches any direction and if you are setting a flange before a concrete floor I would measure 12.5 inches just to be safe from concrete workers etc hitting your pipes.The rough for a toilet can be 10" - 12" and 14"Depending on the type of toilet installed .. for example a wall hung tank normally would be a 14" rough becvause of the 2" slip ell supply from the Douglas vavleCertain Flushometer top spud require less then a back inlet bowl for finish
Which toilet parts are used in a toilet repair kit?
The basic parts that make up the flushing system of the toilet would be the ideal parts for a toilet repair kit. The larger parts like the bowl are not things you are likely to consider repairing. So the idea bits would would a handle, washers, plunger.
How do you fill a toilet drain not in use?
You can't fill a toilet drain not in use as there is no 'trap' to fill with water. The best thing is to get a toilet flange cover from a plumbing store and install it on the toilet flange - i.e. the circular fitting in the floor that the toilet would normally sit on.By simple pouring a few gallons of cold water to replenish the trap seal of the fixture .. check it every few weeks to make sure there is still water above the crown weir

Fix it! duh!Try Double deep deal wax gaskets and longer floor flange bolts Would be the correct answer ..Always ask to see the masters license as not all plumbers can pass these exams
What is the correct wax seal for a toilet flange that sits flush with the subfloor?
I would get the extra thick one. You should have to push down on the toilet to make the wax ring seal. If the toilet sits on the floor by itself, stack 2 rings on top of each other.
How do you fix a toilet supply value leak?
Wouldn't that depend on the type of toilet valve and where the leak is coming from that would dictate the type of repair?
