Hello,
I need to remove the existing leaky shower drain & re-plumb with better materials. The drain thru the shower floor is metal with rubber gaskets and a threaded tail below the floor. A weird plastic threaded trap threads onto the metal drain with rubber gaskets as well. I can't find a match for the trap so I'd like to redo the whole thing with more common materials.
Anyway, from under the floor, I can't get a tool up to the lock nut to release the drain up thru the shower. It's very cramped. A 1-7/8 deep socket (not sure of the nut size) almost works, but the nut is so thin it can't get a bite on the nut. What can I use to reach up to this dang thing? No way can I use common wrenches & reach it from the side.
Thanks for any help!
