    Hi Bill...

    Use two screwdrivers and insert them into the little squares in the grate and try to POP the strainer up and out.

    If that fails or is questionable, you could also take a putty knife and pry the strainer up at one edge and then continue to walk around the strainer until it POPS up and out.

    If you break the strainer cover it is easily replaced at any home improvement store.

    Good luck!
