    No problem Mike! The technical term for a tub drain is called a "Tub Shoe",(see image) this drain has cross bars that need a tub removel tool, such as I have put up to slip into the drain and back it out counterclockwise. Don't forget to clean off the old drain seal and replace it with plumbers putty or silicon jel. Good luck, Tom
