Straight and to the point video. Thx!

Youre welcome!

Upgraded this exact combination. Didn’t have your fancy grabbing tool, but I had a pair of linesmen’s pliers and worked perfectly to grab the pivot on those with my adjustable wrench and turn.

Good job

The screw won’t come off. Looks beat up. Im stuck. What do you recommend?

Great video. Showed me 85% of what I needed for my repair. Only parts that I had issues with is that the drain pop up has several possibilities to remove. Mine didn't have any screw. Found another video that addressed this. Part of the reason I need to replace mine is that the layer between the tub and the tub cover has water in it. It would be cool to see a video of how to address that sort of thing. I think I am on the right track using your video to get most of the way there. Thank you very much for your informative and well made video. Cheers.

Your welcome 🙏 Do you mean there is a liner in the existing tub?

[@johnreskusich2324]

@@GettingItDoneRepairs yes, there is a liner. water got in between the liner and the tub. Most likely from the drain maybe not having a good seal. So, intending to swap out the drain and drain the water at the same time. Going to keep it open for a bit with a dehumidifier running in the room. Then seal it all up and home that resolves the problem. Can't afford to swap out liners(or really much of anything right now.) I suspect I will be okay. Your video helped a lot. I kinda wonder if I should put silicone between the liner/original tub or put that rubber gasket plush silicone in between. I could see an argument for doing son, but not sure what the best path is. Bring up this sort of problem and most people just want to complain about the liners instead of trying to address best practices for drain installation.

[@johnreskusich2324]

another thing worth noting that I eventually figured out is that if your drain has to thread across a longer space, like mine does with the liner adding thickness, they have extended threaded drains out there. None at my hardware store, but I found them online. That solves a problem for people like me. Other lessons I got doing the work: plumber's putty degrades pvc and other plastic parts over time. so, if one is going to have to create a custom gasket due to poorly aligned overflow drain installation, then either get a metal drain collection shoe for plumber's putty, or use silicone which won't affect the plastic. Also, I learned that it takes a full 24 hours away from water for silicone to cure where it won't degrade faster because of the water. Hard to be that patient. But, worth noting.

Thank you

Using an oring to me would be better then puddy.

No putty is best, an O ring will not compress enough.
