Hello: Due to leaks and mold behind the tiles of an alcove shower, I removed all the tile, sheet rock etc. I also removed the old shower pan but the drain will not come out. (The lip of the strainer body cracked off the top side of the pan, allowing the pan to be pulled out.) I can see a hex type nut under the drain but cannot loosen it. See picture at [url]http://members5.clubphoto.com/vm1048429/4069222/owner-dd6f.phtml[/url] (You can click on the photo to enlarge it!) Can I use a basin wrench to try and loosen it, since there is not much room through the hole in the plywood? Any other suggestions? If I have to saw off the drain from the pipe and given how much room there is to work with, what tool would work best? Thanks

I have a slow leak from my hot water pipe in my tub. I've got a 2 handle setup, hot and cold. Trying to get to the stems, I'm having a problem removing the handles, the end caps do not come off to remove the handles, it looks like it is a compression setup from what I can see on the backside of the handle, any ideas of getting them off so I can get to the stems?
