My tub has a stopper that looks similar to that shown below.

I can unscrew the bit that sticks up, but the bigger part remains there.

I hope I'm making sense... I'm trying to remove the whole thing so that I can snake it. The tub has sitting water in it.

Tom or Mark; am I making enough sense for you to tell me what to do? :o

Hi Rick... I don't see your pic.

See if it matches any of my pics. Below.

The first pic. Is a pic. Of a toe touch type stopper... should just unscrew.

The second pic. Is of lift'n'turn stopper... just lift and unscrew the screw to remove.

The 3rd pic. Is a roller ball drain and requires a couple tools to remove... see pic.

Let us know more on this... O.K?
