I Was Changing Out My Bathtub Drain Then This Happened!! #helpingothers #plumbing #diy #plumbers
What happens here
Once the dumbbell drain wrench (and any assisting tools like a screwdriver or adjustable jaw wrench) is firmly engaged with the drain flange's crossbar, apply steady, counter-clockwise pressure to unscrew the flange. Continue rotating the wrench until the drain flange loosens completely. Once loose, carefully lift the old drain flange out of the bathtub's drain opening. This action exposes the P-trap area beneath the tub.
Goal: Detach and remove the old drain flange.
