Very first step in all of plumbing. Cover the drain so screws and such don't fall down the drain. Thank you for the detailed video. Exactly what I needed.

@@jaredharris1970 there's a threaded part on the inside of the piece that he pulled out in the video. You have to adjust it to get the bottom piece to block the water coming in at the drain. It's most likely off just enough to let the water in your tub drain.

@@willc2358 This is what I did, at may not work for others. First, remove the lever plate from the tub, two screws. Then, remove the drain trap from under the tub, this unscrews from both ends. Be prepared to have to replace drain parts if they are metal, have been there for years and are rusted out. Next, have a partner push up the broken off plunger piece with a thin rod or mechanic's wire, until you can grab and remove it from the tub opening.

Thanks for this-- Never did this before so when I pulled on the mechanism and the whole thing came out, I didn't see how it would go back in (without having to be re-attached on the inside somehow)-- So apparently the stopper (metal cylinder) just plain drops back into place? I thought something inside fell apart and I was going to have to call a plumber to rip the whole tub out. I will replace the lever tomorrow-- Thanks for helping me de-stress!

Had a tub where the 'stopper' at the end of the linkage wasn't seating/sealing properly and water wouldn't stay in tub. Did all kinds of cleaning (both stopper and drain) but would never hold water. So I finally gave up and replaced drain in tub with that has a 'pop-up' stopper in the drain in the tub and for the overflow hole (where the linkage feeds in with the type of stopper shown in this video) there's just a faceplate with a slot at the bottom to handle any overflow. Just wanted to point out there are other options if this type of drain doesn't work for you.
