Thanks for this video! I watched about 10 others and nothing worked until I tried this method.
I’m glad it helped 👍😁
Pliers tip saved me, thank you 🙏
Cleaning and need this. Thank you
Thank you this is a nice clear video. I just cleaned out our shower drain and it’s working much better
Thank you, glad it helped out 😁
@@breckdiy1981 quick question, I live in apartments and my drain plug got stuck so I tried to lift it and it snapped off. I took it off and found out that the cross inside the drain broke into small pieces. How should I go about this?
It’s pretty simple to take the whole piece out where the T is. Take a long handled pliers and stick the rubber handles into the whole to use as a wrench basically.
Your gonna need to twist the whole thing out and replace it. I believe Amazon should have a replacement.

Nice video Steve!!! Gonna miss you man!
Thank you jimmy, it’s been great working with you. I miss you and all the residents, keep in touch.
Went from a new pair of needle nose to bent now to broken any other suggestions
We’re you trying to hold it underneath the cap to unscrew?
You can also use a wrench to hold it, I think it’s a a 1//2 inch wrench.
I do not have a. S tee no my copper pop up drain. So how do I get it to pop up?
Sorry your comment didn’t show up in my notifications till now. I’m sorry I’m not understanding what you are saying.
Knob seems to be fused to mine. 9/16 wrench is too small, 5/8 too big. Maybe I got a weird metric one
Hopefully you got it figured out, sorry for the frustration
knob seems to be rusted to the cap part on mine. hard water. These things are a pain. can't get wrench underneath because clearence. will the whole thing just unscrew from the tub or does plug have to be removed first?
Sorry I missed your question, the whole thing will unscrew but it’s easier to get tools inside to undo the core piece.
@@breckdiy1981 turns out mine was rusted right into the crossbar. I ended up breaking the crossbar and just put a flick it plug into the drain.
Yikes sorry to hear that, that does not sound like fun. 😳
@@breckdiy1981 it wasn't. The tub has a cast iron drain with no cleanout that's how old it is. I needed to remove the plug because the drain was clogged with hair. I think the Previous owners put liquid plumber down it rather than removing the plug. The stem rusted to the crossbar as a result.
O man that sounds terrible 😟 best of luck
Seems like pop ups are more trouble than they are worth, just use a regular rubber plug?
Yeah I agree, sometimes different isn’t always good haha
Trying to remove the old drain which is stuck badly.
Did you get it out?
You can also try a handle side down of an adjustable wrench and place a screw driver between the handles to try and get enough leverage to unscrew the drain.
hope this helps.
@@breckdiy1981 I did! Thank you for asking! I've replaced the old drain and am working on the leaky faucet next. (Same tub). After that, I am swapping the shower head.
that’s awesome!!!
No screw. Can only push it down a little to the left but doesn’t pop up.
If it’s in the up position and you just turn to the left to unscrew multiple times will it come out? There are some different style that don’t need to drop down to unscrew
The top screw wont budge, its stuck onto the plate
There are a couple things you can do, either use a wrench to hold the post in position. I believe it’s a half inch wrench and then use either adjustable wrench to grab the Circular top or vice grip
Same issue the nut is either over tightened or rusted on have tried holding post and WD40 any other suggestions?
When you turn something in a circle, which way is right and which way is left?! 😱 You should say “clockwise” or “counterclockwise”. 😂
Simply bad design on them. This is something a midwife could handle but no! Need a project manager, along with the MaxTools truck driving by every hour. 😅
I feel Watco did it way better than a lot of other brands that make the pop/pull up drain stoppers, I’m not a professional plumber but watched 5 or 6 other videos before finding this one which is the same drain I have and is way easier, granted mine is only a year or so old, only time will tell as far as longevity goes! Just my 2 cents.
