Lead Shower pan removal

I have a 32" shower that I am replacing. I removed the metal shower surround and I think that I have a concrete base on a lead shower pan. The metal is very soft at the drain pipe. I have cast iron drain pipes under the house. How should I remove the old shower base? I have a SDS Hammer that I could use to break up the base, but how do I handle the lead drain? Or is this a job for a PRO?

I plan on installing a new shower base and tile the shower walls. I plan to use the exsisting drain location, in the center of the shower area.

I just installed a new bath/shower sliding doors on my tub. They went in fine with no problems except the outside door slides very tight. It is set on the frame proberly but it just slides to tight. There is no adjustment at the bottom where it glides along the rim at the bottom. The only adjustment is on the rollers at the top. There is what looks like a strip of plastic inside the door bottom track. Can I apply a silicone spray or something that will make the door easier to slide.Read More
