If you follow the pipe down, you'll see there's a gap of about 1/2 inch where a joint has been made. Just below where the wall ends.The what just above the what?I think I'll go back to my coding thread.

Did exactly what you are trying to do a few years back. As you said you need to support the weight of whats above and then i just used a hacksaw blade without the frame and took it slow. It takes a while and its a bit awkward but once you get going pretty easy.
You need to be careful to keep it straight and put on a good chamfer with a bit of lube (silicon washing up liquid etc) to get the insert in.
Enjoy the challenge its easy enough once you get going.

It's not a joint, just a jubilee clip. I'm going to stick a pair of them either side of the slip couplings so that they don't creep about over time. They are also handy for holding the soil pipe in place while I cut it. Well, that's the idea....

I've seen those "Commando saws" on ebay and Amazon. I rather like the sales pitch that they can saw through wood, plastic........and bone.Bear Grylls would use one of these
Or his teeth.
BTW, I saw a youtube clip of somebody using a length of nylon string to friction-saw through plastic plumbing pipe.
He did. I missed that as I was imagining the results of the angle grinder or rather, trying not too.

The Bond film villain, Jaws, could gnaw through iron pipes but I only have PVC to deal with.

Its not that easy. I had to do similar years ago on a downpipe that had been hit by a forklift.
The problem is, even if you can get a straight cut, you remove the old piece (I assume you want rid of the old boss), lets say the joint below the boss is re-useable, ypu insert a new piece of pipe into that, push a joint on that at the top, you now won't get it on the section above because of the overlap...does that make sense.
If the pipe is going to be hidden, I'm not sure if you can buy a rubber slip over joint (basically a thick piece of rubber hose )and fix it with hose clips.
I think that's what I had to do in the end...but it was maybe 20 years
Is that a soil pipe (sewage) or rainpipe out of interest.
