You are one of the rare ones using a towel to protect the tub. Thanks for sharing!

Give this guy a break lordy....so the first pic didnt really relate to the solution....BUT he showed me that there is.... in fact... a drain wrench tool that I had never known existed and how to use it, how to properly place the new rubber seals (between backside of tub and the wall facing me....and more....so he did show us all the solutions and for that I am thankful that he took the time to show laypeople...how the old drain can be removed and replaced.

Best talk on this topic. The rest seemed interested in convincing the viewer how easy this is. Nothing is ever easy unless it is some well documented new build. Thanks!

In the real world the X is rotted away so you use a internal expansion tool for tub drains readily available after 30 years putty is like concrete heat with hair dryer or heat gun works real good

Great video. Yes, the thumbnail was misleading but the info was great.

Best trick I’ve seen when the drain vanes break apart is wrap a couple of turns of silver duct tape clockwise around an impact socket that barely fits in the drain and tap the socket into the drain while turning it. Put an impact gun on the socket and let er rip. The duct tape instantly heats up and expands and the impacts screws the drain right out.

Every comment you made is very valuable. I now might have the courage to change both 30 years old. Also I have the same darn tool that have no idea where it came from. Thank you for sharing

When the insides of the drain flange are rusted out and not even your trusty pliers will help, there is only one tool that'll make the removal of the old flange possible/easy; a reverse thread tub drain extractor that fully grips the interior diameter of the flange.

Really enjoyed the video. Very clear and informative. Thank you! You now have a new subscriber

I tried doing this in New Jersey for a friend about a year ago, ended up happen to change everything because it was 20 something years old. I must’ve gone back-and-forth to Home Depot like 5 times getting more and more plumbing parts. Not only that, it’s New Jersey you take one wrong turn and now you got a pay a toll to get back to the house you’re working on.

Great video. Sweet now I can take out the drain to repaint my bathtub, and then install a new drain with an included plug. 😀

Janky thumbnail aside, I didn't even ask for this, but I am replacing a tub myself this weekend and the algorithm tosses me this. Thanks!

I am so glad I found you!!!!

Use backward (put the handles down the drain ) Channellocks. Don't beat up your wood bits
-
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing this information. 👍

Use the kobalt type wrench it grips at 4 points - don't be cheap - it could cost you much more using pliers or any 2 prong tool! Also never forget to change the rubber washer that goes between the bottom of the tub and the drain pipe.
