    Disconnect Drain Pipe in Shower Basin
    I have a neo angle shower stall with a cracked basin. I have it all disassembled but the base and can't see the right way to disconnect the drain pipe before removing the basin. It is PVC pipe. I can't see how to get the basin out either without cracking it into pieces. I'm guessing I don't need to even attempt to take out the basin until the drain pipe is diconnected. Need some advice.

    Not quite so. The PVC drain is glued to the trap raiser. Take a Saws-All and saw out the shower base leaving the drain. You may then cut the drain out.
    Good luck, tom
