: I am attempting to replace my shower pan. It appears that the metal shower drain : is attached with lead to the shower drain pipe. Other than chipping away the lead, : is there another method or tool that would help me remove the shower drain? Yes, you can use a sawzall to cut around the drain and then pull the pan up. Since you are replacing the pan, it's headed to the scrap heap anyway. A large hole where the drain was attached won't matter. Terry
