I am replacing the overflow and drain on a cast iron tub.
The overflow has two tabs. One on each side of the center that overlap the edges of the cast iron hole. See Photo.
I thought this would push to the side and tilt out but there is still a 1/16" to 1/8" overlap.
I can only assume this front piece screws into the back elbow.
Am I wrong?
What are the recommended tools for clamping onto these tabs?
I assume I will need to start using penetrating oil now just to loosen it up.
Thank you.
