Default Removing Bathtub Stopper

Hi, I want to remove my bathtub stopper. It is a pop-up type that seals
the drain when pushed down. It seems to spin freely and does not seem to
want to come out when pulled hard. How does it come out?


Most of them screw into a receptacle at the bottom of the drain.
Frequently, either the screw on the stopper or the receptacle come loose
and spin instead of screwing in and out. Use needle-nosed pliers to hold
the spinning part in place while you turn the stopper.

A few have a set screw on the side. Use a fine screwdriver or a hex key
(as appropriate) to loosen the set screw.
