    How to remove tub stopper
    I am looking for how to detach the stopper from the housing of my touch toe stopper. I did it once by chance, and now that I need to do it again, I can't seem to get it out.

    Hi

    If that is the drain I believe it to be, pop it so the drain is open and then spin the stopper out counterclockwise... will take 5-10 turns... ;)

    Tried that, it doesn't simply unscrew while open; it won't turn without being forced.

    It has to turn in the opened position. Put some muscle behind it and unscrew it counterclockwise. Good luck, Tom
