: How do I remove the old drain in the bath tub to rplace it with a new one. I can't get the old push and turn drain system out to put the new one in.
Reply:
The old tub waste may need to be cut out for removal, occaisionally you will be able to unscrew the strainer from the shoe, there is a tool for this which rarely works.
The old strainer is sliced, then removed.
Use caution while cutting not to damage the bathtub.
Good Luck. *westchester plumber*
