Advice for putting in the enaeled steel tub in place of the fiberglass tub and shower unit?

Also, from those with experience on getting the fiberglass unit out-Sawsall, etc. Steps you used and where to start sawing first?

Thank you, one and all.

The first thing is to disconnect the tub waste and overflow from the trap and remove any nails and screws that secured the tub to the studs. Next take your Saws-All and cut that sucker in two. Since you're already disconnected all you'll have to do is pull it out and haul it away. If you need further instructions on setting your new tub click on back. Good luck, Tom,
