Tub Drain

Posted by David on February 17, 2004 at 17:31:17:
I have a fiberglass shower/tub unit approximately 10 yrs. old, and I would like to replace the drain fitting in the tub (the chrome plating has worn off). I do not have access to the connection from behind or below the tub. It appears as though the drain pipe directly under the strainer makes a very sharp bend (appears almost flat) heading back under the tub. If I were to remove the drain connection by twisting it out by the strainer, what is the likelyhood that the drain pipe will drop out of position, causing a problem?
