price-pfister bath tub drain stuck

Posted by Tracy on July 08, 2001 at 19:50:55:
We have 3 bathtubs in our 20 year old house that all have price-pfister drains with a toggle that opens and closes them. One of them is stuck open (we use a rubber stopper on that one), one is functioning normally, and one is stuck closed, which means we can't use that bathtub. I saw in a hardware store that they operate by raising and lowering a "bucket" across the drain pipe, so i tried unscrewing the overflow cover plate and pulling with all my strength to get that bucket loose. No luck. Any suggestions, short of having a plumber come in and replace the whole drain contraption? Thanks! (great site!)
