I can not figure out how to take off the drain plug to my bath tub. My tub is draining really really really slow and I'm not sure if I snake it that I'll be able to pull out whatever is blocking it... please help.

What kind of drain plug do you have. Please, be detailed in your description...

You can not snake a tub from the drain. You'll run into a tee 6 " in that will p-revent you from going farther. You remove the overflow plate and snake from there.(see image) remove the two screws holding the chrome face plate and pull up and out on the linkage and plug. Feed your snake in through the opening. You will run into the return bend of the trap about 18 inches down but crank and work your way past that you should only have 6 or 8 more feet to run out. Flush with a tub of hot water. Good luck and thank you for rating my answer, Tom
