: : I have a clogged drain and wanted to take the drain cover and stopper off to clean out hair, etc. : : It is not connected to a lever below the spout. I can get the handle(?) off of the top of the drain stop but not the stop itself. Any clues how to get it off?? : : Thanks : This may be what they call a tippie toe drain : stopper and can be unscrewed or take the overflow : cover off and take a coat hanger wire and reach : in and you may be able to pull the stopper up Thanks but let me explain further. I unscrewed the chrome knob on top thinking that I could then lift up the chrome piece that actually stops the drain. The stopper itself is what I am trying to remove. It turns but does not unscrew. Am I explaining myself? I am obviously not a plummer:) Is there a secret to removing the stopper itself?? Thanks again
