Kohler how do I connect overflow plate drain crank to adjustng link in bath tub
Author: Anastasia158 (WI) Hello. I pulled off the overflow plate but now I can see how I reconnect these two parts. I am really determined to get this back together on my own. Seems like it should be super easy but I can't figure it out. Pics added [@#$%&[s836.photobucket.com]][/URL] [@#$%&[s836.photobucket.com]][/URL] [@#$%&[s836.photobucket.com]][/URL] Thanks so much!!!

Author: packy (MA) i haven't done one of those in a while so my memory may be a little cloudy. to make sure it is lifting, stick a phillips screwdriver into the 'round eyelet' in your photo. it should lift up and down freely and move the stopper up and down. now simply slide the larger of the 2 round 'pins' on the back of the plate into that eyelet and fasten the screws.

Author: Anastasia158 (WI) Thanks !! That did the trick. It was the smaller one that needed to go in there. Glad I found this forum and that I was also able to obtain the schematic to understand what I am dealing with. Edited 1 times.
