rapidfit toe touch tub drain

Author: billk (HI)

I think I have an older model rapid fit toe touch tub drain that I want to remove. I can't unscrew the cap or stem but I can pull the cap up about an inch past its normal open position - it leans slightly from vertical when I do this. The cap is made of plastic as is the shaft so I don't want to use too much force and break it. On the cap is written Rapid-Fit with "Close" & "Open" on either side of the center as if you would press on one side to close it and the opposite to open. Thanks in advance.

Author: bsipps (PA) The stopper has to almost closed in order to unscrew, they fail often your better off replacing the entire waste and overflow with a gerber tripwaste, or if the threads on stopper are plastic just break the stopper off and tap or drill the threaded piece out and install new stopper
