    These are both Watco toe stoppers. Is it the left or the right one? Let me know, Tom

    The one on the right isn't one that I've had experience with. ( had plenty with the one on the left) But I'm told if you grasp the black body with o9ne hand and twist the chrome top counterclockwise It will unscrew to reveal a slotted bolt that you can unscrew . IOf you wish to completely remove the drain body from the tub so you can clean the tub shoe, (that's the fitting the stopper screws into.) Watco has a tool(see image) that will fit the c oss bars and allow you to remove the entire stopper. However if you renove the stopper body you will have to use plumbers putty or Silicon Jel to form a new drain seal. Good luck, Tom
