Replace shower drain

[texasCarla]

I have a fiberglass shower that is leaking, (its on the ground floor slab foundation). I poured water around the drain and the water disappeared so I figured the drain need to be replaced. I got the castle screw off and the rubber gasket, but the the bras drain part it self will not come out. Per Lowes its suppose to just pull off. It turns but will not lift off. Any suggestion as to how I can get this out.

It will lift up only 1/4". This drain is original with the house which is 15 yrs old.

It's held on by a large nut on the bottom of the shower. It ain't coming out.

Thanks, I knew it wouldnt be as easy as the "kid" from Lowes told us, guess we will put it back together and silicone the heck out of it. Cant afford a plumber
