: Have you unscrewed the drain yet? I had this problem and had to stick the handle end of my channel locks into two of the four holes. Then used another pair of plyers to unscrew the contraption. : Good luck. : Doug That's the problem, getting the drain unscrewed. Tried the channel locks without success. Heard from another source that heat might help break the seal. That was the 'secret ingredient' - heat. A standard hair dryer (set on high heat) for a few minutes and the drain unscrewed. Thanks Doug and friends. Dave
