    WHY would they make this so hard to remove in the modern versions? Why would they practically bolt it in place? We are so sad.

      So you have to call a plumber

      Yup, so you can call a plumber and they can scare you into a ton of problems that you don't have so you can spend a ton of money they you don't have !!

    Thank You! Single mom just learned how to remove this evil stopper by watching your video! Sink drain cleaned and flowing normally! And no I'm not putting the stopper back, just using a drop in screen.

    Couldn't get my stopper out and was getting frustrated. Previous home had a hook one. This home evidently had the newer version with a circle. After watching your video, it was less than 5 minutes by the time it was back together after cleaning out the yuck! Thank you so much. Great instructions!

  • @austinfreiburger9095
    @austinfreiburger9095 3 месяца назад +10

    IF YOU'RE STRUGGLING TO FIT THE ROD BACK INTO THE STOPPER: hold the drain stopper in one hand and the rod in the other. You'll be able to feel when the rod is hitting the stopper, so just move the stopper up and down until you feel the rod go in. Hope this helps someone else who had a moment of panic because they're also not handy like me 😂

    Nice. The previous residents left me a nice present for when I moved in: a giant evil blob of hair and congealed stuff in the pipes of my bathroom sink, and I was able to disassemble, thoroughly clean, and reassemble everything without a hitch. Drains fast and easy now.

    this helped tremendously. been fightin with a stopping sink for months. ive found that no chemical that states it unclogs hair or other items does. if it would, it would eat the seals and pvc plumbing as well haha. ive never had to replace or install one of these and looked at it last night and realized i needed just this kind of visual instruction.

      Gravel down the sink? Guarantee some if not all of that gravel that fell down the drain is resting in the bottom of your p trap. You should take that off and clean it out.

    This video is a good explainer but I think I’m just incompetent when it comes to handy work because I think I just made my clogged sink worse…I thought I successfully got all the gunk out of my drain, but I had some problems reattaching the stopper (screwing it in), panicked a lot, cried, then I guess got it back in? And pretty sure I screwed it on tight at the bottom. But once I started running the water, to my horror, the sink is still clogged and draining even slower than before. I used a tooth brush to remove a decent amount of gunk. It wasn’t a lot but now I’m wondering, is it possible I could have pushed down more gunk even further into the drain? I’m at my wits end and just bought Draino even though I really didn’t want to have to resort to this…it now takes at least over 30 minutes for my sink to drain. I don’t know what I did wrong.

    Americans have the most complicated sink plugs. UK sinks don't have the rods underneath. Although at least yours look fixable
