Disconnecting the plumbing lines

No matter what style tub you have, they’re all connected to the plumbing lines in the same way. Turn off your water supply and then follow these steps to disconnect:

1. Standing in the tub, unscrew the faucet handles from the valve body and remove the spout.

You may need a screwdriver or a hex wrench if there’s a hex nut under the spout.

2. Remove the screws holding the overflow plate in position and remove the plate.

You may have to pull the drain linkage mechanism out of the overflow along with the cover.

3. To loosen the tub drain, push the handles of a pair of slip joint pliers into the tub drain, called the spud.

4. Put a large screwdriver between the handles of the slip joint pliers and turn the pliers counterclockwise to unscrew the drain from the pipe under the tub, called the shoe.
