    How to remove a stuck shower drain cover?
    The shower drain is clogged. I can't remove the cover because it seems stuck The cover is round, secured by two screws (which I removed). It must either twist out or pop out, but it does not budge and I am concerned about using force. Suggestions?

    If you've removed the screws then all that's holding it is the gunk around the edge. Stick a knife blade under the edge and pry it out. Good luck, Tom
