Remove frozen bathtub drain=Update at the bottom
1. Cross bar things are gone.
2. Tried prying up a piece and grabbing with needle nose pliers to turn. No luck
3. Used hacksaw blade to cut a notch at the angle where the flat part of the flange goes down to the drain. Then screw driver and hammer counter clockwise to loosen. But no
4. Hit the darn tub hoping to break a piece, but it is iron or steel and that was not helpful except for stress relief.
5. Used a blow dryer on HOT trying to melt old plumbers putty we assume is under there, but no help.
6. Looked for more suggestions here, but #3 is all we found beside something that calls for some expensive tool.
Any thing else?
