Well done. Some could have stretched this out to 10 minutes.

Short but sweet! Thanks. I was able to easilly lift mine out with 2 pair of piers. It wasn't glued in.

mine had somehow become one with the concrete and needed a large crowbar to force out along the bottom edges. Your video reminded me it probably wasn't glued and just to keep trying, and it worked. So, thanks!

I am just letting people know that this drain might not come out this easy I worked on mine for weeks. I bought a new grate to replace this one . I had to break all the grates and put a baby saw in to cut the rest out. All done with one hand .

I wish mine came out like this lol. Not sure if they've been glued on or are just stuck, but I'll probably have to break mine off like "Johny Doe". Luckily, replacement drains by NDS were about a buck each at Lowes.

The grates that I am trying to removed seemed to have been glued on. I've tried wd40, goof off and blast off lubricant (not all at the same time). I very also tried applying heat with a heat gun. I have 4 that I need to remove. I started on Saturday and it Monday. 1 removed and 3 more to go.. any tricks that can be shared for anyone reading this would be massively appreciated and forever you will hold a place in my heart.

@@timothytran6200 bro, the grates would not come out, they were stuck and probably fused together. I ended up inadvertently damaging one of them. I got frustrated with all the time I wasted so i just broke all of them and bought new grates.. new grates run about 3 dollars and some change at home depot. After breaking the grates i saw that tiny dirt particles were in between the grates and the catch basin, my guess is that this debris was what was adhering grates to the catch basin.. Good luck bro..

I had the same problem. I guess over time it really became extremely difficult to pull or pry out. I found one sure easy way to remove it. U simply hammered a small screw driver along the edge n it will either loosen or break the grate. Mine just broke but it's only alittle over a buck for a replacement at Lowe's. Good luck. Its actually quite easy

Try this method next time, get a small saw at lowes, saw a part of the edge of the grate, and use a flat head to wedge between the edge: imgur.com/a/R64qyiD

That one wasn't stuck. Mine, the crowbar snapped it into pieces before it would come out. But they are easy to find and replace.

This seems to be the case with my patio drains when I moved into my home. It just boggles my mind that someone could think it’s a good idea to glue or cement these things in🤨

If it is glued in, use a small masonry chisel to open a gap. Pour in Goo Gone super glue remover, work around the circumference until it works free and then proceed per the video.

What kind of idiot would glue their drain cover on anyway 🤔😄
