What happens here

This project guides you through repairing a common issue with sink drain pop-up stoppers: a rusted and corroded pop-up rod. Instead of replacing the entire unit, this DIY fix involves disassembling the pop-up mechanism, cutting off the damaged portion of the rod, cleaning it, and reassembling it. This simple repair restores the drain stopper's functionality.

You can see that that bar has rusted off. This is the size of a new one. Look at that. Well, there's an easy fix for this. Grab a adjustable jaw, close it down on this, and we'll push. We're going to push the ball down further and cut off the bad part. Just chop that nasty off. Grab your mini hack, whatever you're going to use to cut this off. A little bit cleaner.
