    Hey Dave,

    You didn't say so I'm assuming that the "P" trap's cast iron. If this were my call I would take a Saws-All with a metal blade and cut the trap out. Then I would convert to PVC using a No-Hub Band,(see image) and connect a PVC trap to the tub using a compression fitting on the trap raiser. Good luck. Tom
