What's the best way to get the trip level drain cover off?


If it were me, I'd soak the screws with something like penetrating oil
and give the screws a few taps with a dead punch or wood dowel. Try
that a few times and work them out will tools. Think vibrations to
break the binding of the screw threads. Options would be _"Alden 8440P
