Hi Nicole,

The only way to remove a fitting with ABS cement used on it would be to cut it off from the pipe. If there's nothing wrong with the flange then I recommend just removing the gasket that's still sticking out from it and removing the flange fitting on the new waste valve # T50 and then bolting it to the old flange fitting. Just make sure you use the new gasket from the # T50 when connecting to the old flange.

I've attached a video below where I did this on a double waste valve that you can watch to get some pointers.
