Thanks for the video. Like you, I had to replace a tub spud that was badly corroded and the crossbars were broken off, maybe by the owner. Getting the spud off with a extractor wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (long breaker bar helped). I also didn't replace that washer between the trap and tub since it was really wedged in and I used plumber's putty, pipe dope, and tape. No leaks.

This just opened my eyes to a repair I thought would require removal of the entire tub. Thanks for this vid. I need that tool lol
@MPD-ih6sm13 күн бұрын
What worked for me was to take a hard chisel and create notches at an angle on the edge of the drain. Then with the removal tool and a breaker bar, tap the top of the tool with a hammer while giving constant pressure to the tool counter clockwise, the drain came loose.

I never take the original gasket out. I just slide it off to the side and let it fall into the cavity then slide the new one in. No muss no fuss. I also use pipe dope between the gasket and the tub. Especially on fiberglass because they can be so rough you end up with a leak.

YOU GOT THE TRIM OUT EASY BECAUSE IT'S PVC. IF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN OLD BRASS YOU WOULD HAVE NEEDED TO CUT IT OUT WITH A SAWZALL.
@tacklebox6239Ай бұрын
Hey Skippy, pro dope isn’t rated for pvc. You’re weakening the plastic by using that.

So you just left the old rubber seal underneath the drain?
@theplumbersplunger9 ай бұрын
Less than 3 years old but yes, had to reuse it. It was wedged in there and the pvc was at an angle. Couldn’t get it out. I warranty my work for 2 years though. I let the customer know and offered to cut open the wall behind the tub to be able to replace it. They decided to leave it.
