: I had a new bath tub drain put in a year ago and it is stopping up. The stopper just turns around and around and it will not unscrew. Don't all the new ones come off so you can clean or run a snake down it if necessary.? : Please help!! First pull the stopper all the way up and see if there is a screw or a set screw that you can see under the large round part of the drain. If so, loosen and things will come apart If not... Get 2 pairs of channel locks. Grip the larger round part of the drain with one pair of channel locks and use the other pair of channel locks to loosen the top knob. There should be a screw or nut under the smaller knob that you can loosen to remove the drain. Deb The Pipewench
