You need access to under the tub, leading to the drain set, large enough for a wrench. You need to cut the concrete.

What the said is not really true. They make a floor kit. I'll get back to u on this. But you just drop the tub in with a tail piece and makes a water tight seal. I've done 2 so far in a high end hotel. This one had one and it worked great. Expensive though

NO! These are a disaster waiting to happen. Good example of things that are made but should never be sold. They are sold to unsuspecting DIY looking for a cheap and/or easy way to do an difficult job. No real plumber would even consider these things.
