Corroded bath tub drain removal - using hacksaw - "Pain in the Drain"

Bathtub drain removal.
Extractor tool was too large.
Spuds or cross members at the base were broken.
Very corroded and stubborn, would not budge.
Had to use hacksaw as last resort.

Thank you! The top of my drain broke off too. I started using a hacksaw today and pooped out. I was about to give up until I saw that it works! I’ll keep at it.

Thank you!! This is my exact situation, I used the extraction tool and my drain broke the exact same way you did. I wanted to use a hacksaw and didn't have the confidence without seeing someone else in KZbin first, and couldn't find any videos that matched my problem. Your video was a life saver!!!

I'm glad it helped. The hacksaw trick is slow and steady. Take care

Spent 2 days on this, thought about cutting it out but wasn’t sure. Saw this, went and got a saw and fixed it in about an hour. Thank you SO much for this. Really helped me out!!!

I had the exact same problem. Used the saw and it worked. Thanks! Well now I know it wasn’t the drain after all. It’s still leaking under the tub. Was hoping not to have to call a plumber.

Cut the sleeve 4 times going down vertical, still can't get them off or out. Can't collapse it yet either. Tried heat..not I have wd40 on it, but not confident. That little ring he luckily popped off. Mine seems welded to the drain. all stuck.

Great job! How did putting in the gasket go???

[@CharlieD954]

I pushed done on the drain pipe a little , which allowed me to bend and install the gasket.

[@trextrextrex]

Thanks The extraction tool fit mine but did not work Mine is like its seized or cemented in. I'll be getting a $7 hacksaw

[@CharlieD954]
