I tried that, broke my channel locks, and crossbar, then I got mad and threw my hammer and broke the mirror. Then while I was screaming I cut my feet on the glass and slipped and got a concussion
You know I saw this video a couple weeks ago and today I did my first bathroom install and it took me forever to get that part out and now watching this video I realized I saw your video long time ago and just didn't retain the knowledge and dog on it I brought my channels but I didn't even use them that way It took me a long time to get the old one out but I'm excited It looks really nice no leaks and they're happy😅
Wow it worked!! Thank you so much!! I ran out to get the tools and still forgot a flathead screw driver, so I still had no leverage and couldn’t do it. Thanks again!!
You should have started the video before you already loosened the spud.. that's how you teach .. not after you did the hardest part.. show the struggle lol😊
Any advice if your drain doesn’t have the cross bars? My drain has small channels across from each other about 1.5mm deep and 3mm wide. I just can’t get it to budge! Any tips appreciated!
Yall some hatters if done correctly it is that ez! I just did mine right now also make sure that u hammer the soft hand grips of the channel locks into location and go slowly as your turning cuz if not that's how u screw up and break stuff
It's already loose.the T breakes out even with the correct tool.a expanding tool might save them the cost of a plumber.but when it's all this welded together ,concider that if the trap snaps and there is no acsess ecept through the wall of a two story home.you might have just turned a twenty dollar over the old one investment into a plumber a stuco repair and a plumber.a grand at least.you don't fix this with a good pair of Chanel locks.you Will ruin those aswell.a dremel tool and small diamond blade and then a hack saw with no top bar going over it.anf you still might break the trap where the overflow and the p trap are just fitted together without being solid.water in drains is not a pressure fitted water tight strength.its gravity.seal and if it backs up it will leak.i love the dys vidios on the web..but watch more than one.im sure this works once in a while .but old plumbing is the hardest thing I've ever had to do.son of a plumber and thirty years as a bathtub refinishing contractor and kitchen and bath remodel.
Mine was a sob I used a chisel to break it loose along with the womans hair dryer for some heat then used a large wedge and put it in pushed it to the side to get a grip inside and finally got it but I was scared to death I was gonna break the p trap
He should say, how to remove a LOOSE bathtub drain strainer without any special tools
Exactly😂
I have no clue why everyone is so upset that the drain was already loose. How do you think it got that way?
Step one make sure drain is loose before you start filming

Holy crap! After fudging with this thing for hours….. your a miracle!!
This drain has been on here for like 30yrs till now! 😊😊

Sounds like you need anger management
Doh!😂
Days of my life 2.0
Same result here man, mothereffer
womp womp
THANK YOU !!! This is exactly what I needed and it just popped up on my feed from another related video! Loooove RUclips!
SAME 🙌🏾
Amen
Best method ever ! Just pulled out 20 years worth of hair. Appreciate you bro 🙏🏽
That was so clutch man. I'm doing my bathroom demo today for a full remodel to save myself some money. Thanks for the awesome tip.

The install went awesome I did another bathroom took half the time and I also did a kitchen sink so I feel real good about it Thanks for the know-how
Wow it worked!! Thank you so much!! I ran out to get the tools and still forgot a flathead screw driver, so I still had no leverage and couldn’t do it. Thanks again!!
Thank you! Saved me $13! Didn’t have to buy a special tool.
Never thought of that one...
Thank you.
I used a similar approach but your analogy helped. Thank you!!
Thank you for your ingenuity! Saves me from buying another use once tool!!
Of course I come across this video after struggling with my sink drain! Lol 😂
Uh huh. I want to see you do that with a drain shoe that isn't already loose .
How do you think I got it loose?
but 95% of the time it's not going to be that easy
This is for informational purposes only. Your mileage may vary.
@@Wolfsgarageincworked great for me!
99.8%
The t was gone in mine because it was so old. I sawed it and twisted it out. Took less than 10 minutes. Just replaced it.
@@devilmecaresame here,I'll try this aftn,guess I'll need a small hacksaw...
Do you have any tips if you're cross part is broken
Good luck if it’s more than 10 years in there
Thank you very much! I removed it using your way. I applied Spry w40, waited for couple of hours.
I appreciate it!!
My channel locks broke the cross bar, had to cut the sides of thr the drain cover w a sawzall just a bit, and used a prybar as a wrench.
So what you pulled out the special tool first loosened it up and then try to show a hack way to loosen that up with a pair of channel locks.. awesome
I guess it’s a free country. Think what you want. Worked for me.
Great video. Thanks
Recently watched this video...& It work for me... thank you!
The easiest way to remove this is by cutting a couple slits with a dremmel and Voila!
Thank you. You just saved my project today ❤
You should have started the video before you already loosened the spud.. that's how you teach .. not after you did the hardest part.. show the struggle lol😊

Didn’t want myself swearing on film. 😅
Thanks! Worked like a charm
You just saved me big bucks. Thank you so much!
And if the cross bars are completely gone?
I did it! I wanted to add a picture but it won't let me. Thank you so much!
I think every toolbox in America has those channel locks
Thanks bro, it helped me a lot...🎉
Any advice if your drain doesn’t have the cross bars? My drain has small channels across from each other about 1.5mm deep and 3mm wide. I just can’t get it to budge! Any tips appreciated!
I would cut a couple of grooves in the Outer ring with a dremel or cutoff wheel and then hammer it with a chisel or flathead screwdriver.
Worked well bro, I used a broken breaker bar for more leverage and it came off in seconds.. Thx for the tip.
If you're using a breaker bar for breaking then it's not broken.
@@tomgnyc Lol well the end is L shaped and the 1/4 tip swivel end is out 1 tip of the y is broken... so broken braker bar...
Yall some hatters if done correctly it is that ez! I just did mine right now also make sure that u hammer the soft hand grips of the channel locks into location and go slowly as your turning cuz if not that's how u screw up and break stuff
Thank you 🙏 so much, you really saved my life 😊
Thank you, I’m going to try it.
Thank you now I need new channel locks
Thanks for sharing this
Bro definitely used the tool meant for this before the video based on how loose it is 💀
😂wait, there’s a tool??
Awesome quick hack!!
Thank youuu it worked
Thanks!!
What do u do when the drain is broken
Wish I would have saw this before I broke my tub.
Thank you so much! It worked.
You said without any special tools but you're using grandpa's channel locks
You’re not wrong…
This is awesome! What do you do if the screw is too tight though? :(
One is loose already and second it’s never that easy especially when some people use cheap putty that dries and causes it to lock up
This helped thanks man!
What if those little things broke
Thank you!
Mine turns, but doesn’t come out!
Yeah that's what that guy said. Had to remove a tub drain when it's already loose. You can undo it with your fingers😮
Cool thanks
Part 2 - How to reattach the drain to a loose PVC pipe. ???
Instructions unclear I broke the entire universe.🎉 Not happy
Tub wrench is 11$ at Home Depot
They break I tries a husky cross T one
Great tip thanks
What do I do if the cross bars are completely broken and missing?
I'm in the same boat
Hammer and chisel or flat head screwdriver. Dig in hitting it to the left to hopefully get it loosened
Do you have one for broken cross bars 😢
I tried this an I’m still working it lol. It’s a pain in the ass at first but after a while it should brake the seal
I got those same chanel locks
It doesn’t always come out! You can crack your drain!
Just so you know, sometimes they literally need to be cut out...... I have had some that have destroyed the channel locks.....
I'm literally bout to try this right now. Was gonna start beating the shit out of it but thought hey RUclips it 😂😂😂
Wow thanks!!!
Thank you times a zillion🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thx
love it!
I don’t use Channel locks does it work with Milwaukee channel locks 😅let me see that
I like how yours was loose before the pliers handle technique was used…
He probably did it before hand so he could demonstrate with one hand
So thats how those channel locks get handles messed up. Lol
Cmon man that was already loose...
I have no clue why everyone is so upset that the drain was already loose. How do you think it got that way?
This is how I've always done this until one day I bought an expansion plug to grip it
Bs! By the time you have to replace the tub drain the inner posts are no longer there.
Yeah mine is just stuck as hell and it has nothing on the inside no cross bars or anything 😢
Been there done that ,appartment maint.
I tried that but it bent my Chanel locks
Now make a video where u’re removing an old drain shoe that has nothing to get a grip on😂
Don't bend your channel locks by prying something between the handles. Grip where both jaws meet with another channel lock or pipe wrench.
But I guess one would still be bending them lol😂
Is that a Moen?
Use oil unrust spray before learned the hard way lol,
i'm turning it but it won't pop out
barbell drain tool is like less than ten bucks, put it in your tool box, or break cross bars and fight them.
I'm confident mine has like 60 years of corrosion caked all over it, gonna crack something
Clever tech tip.
I did it and it keeps spinning and wont come out

Crossbars are broken so I had to buy a Tool,.......
Is this easy or like would I need strength
Depends on your application
Don’t do this. Seriously.
Don’t do this. Spend a few bucks and get the tub drain tool. Or… take your chances.
When the cross is gone this doesn't work.
Don't be fooled, they're never that easy...Let's see how you do when the crosshairs have broken..I know, do you
The tub wrench tool cost 10 bucks
Better than messing up those Chanel locks doing that
My cross bar wasn't broken but now it is lmao...anyway to still get that ???? 🤬🤬
Mine was a sob I used a chisel to break it loose along with the womans hair dryer for some heat then used a large wedge and put it in pushed it to the side to get a grip inside and finally got it but I was scared to death I was gonna break the p trap
This is fake been plumbing for 14 years. Never seen a drain that loose
Ma era già smontata 😂😂😂😂
