    Stuck bathtub lever
    My son used the bath yesterday and now the lever won't go down to let the water out. My brother removed the plate and also the drain cover and we don't know what to do!! We jiggled it but don't want to break it altogether! Any advice??

    Remove the plate and pull the bucket and linkage assembly up and put. Grease the bucket/stopper up with Vaseline and reinstall. Work better now? Good luck, Tom
