How do you get bottom drain out of bath tub to replace tub?
The piece in the drain is screwed into the drain under the tub It is usually corroded and is not going to unscrew. You can use a sawsall or jig saw to cut the drain in 3 or 4 places around the opening and peel the piece out. You can also disconnect the drain under the tub and just leave it on the tub. There should be access to the back side of the tub. Usually a panel or door in the back of a closet that is in the room beside the bath. If there is no access, you will need to make one so that you can connect the drain to the new tub.
