    You use "dumbell" tool to remove the bottom part. You use screwdriver to remove overflow plate and lever.

    Now, if you want to replace entire drain, including rough-in, then you have to get behind the tub and replace entire assembly. It is kind of difficult project to do for average HomeOwner.

    I agree with Milo, tough job for most. Easiest way for many is to get at it from below ebven if that requires removal of a ceiling below.
