Step 6 · Lift and Position the Tub for Removal
This is the most physically intensive step. With the tub fully disconnected, use a pry bar and wooden blocks to begin lifting the tub. Wedge the pry bar under the front edge and use a block as a fulcrum to lift it slightly. Slide more blocks underneath to hold it up. Work your way around the tub, lifting and blocking until it's raised a few inches off the floor and free from the wall alcove. The goal is to 'walk' it out from the wall. At this point, you have two options: get help to carry the extremely heavy tub out, or break it up for easier removal.
