Excellent video! My son pulled off my overflow part somehow and I now know how to replace it! Thanks for the new video! The instruction is phenomenal!!!! Sub for life here

Thanks. Just bought the drain wrench but wasn't sure the best way to use it. Also like the pop up replacement drain you chose. And I wasn't aware the gasket behind overflow cover was missing when I replaced it! So one more trip to Loew's to finish this drain project. Thanks again.

Thanks for showing me where that seal goes! It helped out a lot. I think I would have easily installed it wrong and not even known until I had a big problem on my hands. Thank you!

Thanks for the clear instructions and tips to make this project a success for me! It really helped.

Thank you for showing me exactly how to do this!

This is such an informational video! Keep up the great work

Very complete and straightforward explanation... Thanks

Great instructions 👍

Great fix! I need to get one of those drain tools bc my drain looks the same!

Very useful video, Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.

Great Work..

Just what i needed. Thank you!

Thank you so much, I'd had to order the special tool, we just gave up my son and Dad they were huffing and puffing and nothing 😂 it's really hard to get out, excellent video ❤❤❤ .

Hey there! Awesome vid! The old drain looked like it had putty all the way down the threads. Is that an optional seal tactic... just adding more putty to the threads themselves?

Heyyyy you have awesome skills

Hi! Great video! I'm trying to replace my overflow plate...just like yours...but I'm having a hard time removing the old one. Mine is not held in place by a screw--it looks more like a screw type thing that has a ball at the end of it. The ball has a hole in it that I would have to put one of those little L shaped screw drivers in and then torque it to loosen it. It won't budge. I spray some lubricant on it so hopefully in the morning it will loosen it up. My question is the plate I purchased...which is just like yours...has a screw in it. Will that work with what I have. I know it might be hard to understand what I have. My house is over 100 years old with old fixtures. Any help will be appreciated!

Good handy information.... keep it up.... I wait for your return response.

It all looks great, but I have big problem with removing old flange/rim - it keep spinning. I have managed to spin it with the tool, it kicked off the old silicon from between the rim and bathtub base, but even tho it's spinning quite easily it doesn't go up at all. I tried to spin and pool with pliers, but that doesn't seem to work either. What am I missing here? Are there kinds with no thread? Is this thread broken or unmatched? Maybe I am doing something wrong here? I also don't have access to under the bath tub as I would need to break the tiles (don't ask me - I bought this place like that..)

How do u keep the pipe under the drain from coming off

Groovy

Can anyone explain how this specific type of drain cap/stopper works? I believe mine may be dysfunctional but I've been looking online for hours for the correct model/solution but it's pretty hard to understand any of it when I don't even know how it actually functions in the first place. Mine hasn't worked since we moved into our house, it won't stay up so to drain the tub we have to put something under it to hold it open- and I was hoping to find a video explaining why it isn't working when every other video seems to show the same pieces and all? I believe its the same as this one, maybe a bit older, but I don't know if there's supposed to be a notch that holds it or if it has something to do with the underpart. If anyone has any answers it would be appreciated. Thanks.

My drainage white tube is a bit lower that than and it won’t connect to a standard basket..would I need to get an extended one? Like a 2”?

I used the drain removal tool and the drain came loose but only came up about 1/4". It wobbles and turns but won't come out?? It's in a mobile home and I have no access to the j pipe drain. Any suggestions?

Question: Mine is only able to be hand screwed in 1-2 turns then I have to use a wrench to get it the rest of the way in… Once it hits the bottom, it is not flush and there is a clear gap on the side closest to the cover plate. I’ve tried multiple times. How can I get it to screw in even/flush??

Does anyone know why the drain requires so much mechanism? I feel like the drain could just be a covering to the drain pipe. Why are there so many screws and devices in there that need to be removed?

What is the piece called that you screw into to hold the overflow cover? I have nothing to screw into just an empty pipe.

If you watch the danco video, the seal goes to the top of the tub, you da man!

tried to change a drain but end up making the pipe come loose so trying to fix that now any tips it a very small hole to fix the pipe

FYI u were using the channel locks backwards, the way u had them on the tool is the way u tighten RH threads...

$300 dollars is what they wanted to charge to have that done. And hell no I didn’t…. I can do myself after watching this…thanks!!!

I have a comment about the Overflow in the tub. The Overflow drain was not aligned right with the tub you should have opened the access panel and loosened the overflow nuts to realign the Overflow pipe. After seeing you poking the gasket like that I believe you'll probably will have a leak you should have replaced the gasket then you would have done a perfect job. That's my tech tip for the day.

How much is a stopper tool

The channel locks go the way you're tightening or loosening

I have a few comments. #1 if your plumber's putty is a little dried up like that roll it around in your hands and the heat from your hands will return it back to its normal state don't add water to the plumbers putty. #2 you should have added more plumbers putty to the tub drain. #3 you should have put some pipe dope on the threads before screwing it into the pipe. And I am a professional plumber that's my tech tip for the day

IF YOU FLIP OVER THE PLIERS IT WOULD HELP TWISTING.

I cannot do the drain myself. I have arthritis.

You are using the wrench and the channel locks backwards.

You used your pliers backwards. You pull with the top of the pliers opposite of the direction your turning your object.

Bath tub drain just keeps spinning for me. Won’t come out

Use a screwdriver instead of a wrench at about 6:00.

You guys better teflon tape and dope them threads. Trust me.

Not good you should have replaced the overflow seal too,,.and it’s cheep,,.
