How do you snake out a slow running 1962 bathtub drain?


Carefully, with a 1961 snake.

If you snake it, go in thru the trip-lever opening.

What sometimes works better is a shop vac.
Block off the trip-lever opening with wet rags
stuffed tightly.
Tightly seal vac hose to drain and turn on.

Hook up the vac hose to the outlet or blower side!
