[TheForge] lead seal removal or the nightmare remodeling job has begun ;-)

Why not just cut the lead seal?  Am I missing something?  

I'd envision a tool like an inverted tubing cutter, rolling around the
inside of the lead pipe, pushing a cutter into the lead pipe.

hello;

... the shower drain is lead sealed to
the 2inch copper drain pipe. the shower floor is concrete. cutting the
copper pipe is not a viable option.

btw: despite my strong protests, this project is being done while  we
attempt to live in the house. i did not build a yurt. :-(
