If it is a Hayward Drain cover then that cover should infact have

Some companies are know to glue but not many. And it would also be
nice to know why you need to remove it so maybe we can fix your problem
without removing it at all.
let me know

It is an in-ground plaster pool. I don't know who built it - it is
about 12 years old. The filtration system says its Pac-Fab, but the
word "Hayward" rings a bell. I hope to high heaven it ain't glued, I
really need to get in there. My wife lost the diamond from her
engagement ring in the pool. We've vacuumed and now drained the pool,
no luck. There seems to be a fair amount of some sandy sediment at the
bottom of the pool drain, but I can't see very well for the water
obscuring it.
