    Remove the drain cover with a flat blade screwdriver.

    Then if you need to extract the compression gasket pipe rise and drain body by unthreading the compression nut and pulling the gasket out with needle-nose pliers.

    Hi KJT...

    Hmmm... How old is this shower?

    Tell us... do you have a leak? If so, where is the leak showing itself? Let us know all the details so we can offer best information... ok?

    Answer the questions and me or someone else will get back at you pretty quick. I will be back in early am Saturday (about 6:30ish? ).

    Good night...
