What happens here

To remove the old drain stopper, push it down and spin it counter-clockwise. The presenter notes that the finish has come off the old stopper and it's made of 'pot metal', which has eaten away, preventing it from sealing properly or staying in place.

Goal: This step involves removing the existing bathtub drain stopper, which has a worn-out finish and poor sealing, causing drainage issues.

What they say

Hide

First thing you got to do though is get this old one out. You usually push this down and spin it and then it will pop out. The actual finish has come off of this. And this actually, I bought this at a supply house. The finish has come off of this, right? So not only was it hard for this to come up and go down and actually stay in one place, it doesn't seal so great anymore. So we're getting rid of it. So I just want to show you close to the big reason of why this is no getting changed out, right? It's because of this piece right here. Just to finish, you can pull the zine away and it looks like that. It's pot puddle, apparently, and that's just eating away, right? Big rough edge there and did not seal so well anymore.
