How do I remove bath overflow?

[Chew]

How do I remove this? Also if I do remove it, can it be put back easily enough?



Thanks

hold it from the back with your left hand and use your right hand to twist the bit with holes. its just screwed together. if you cant move it, maybe use some grips, but this could leave marks on the plastic. take your time:smile:

You may damage the seal. Be sure to test it after replacing it

If you can,put a plastic washer next to rubber 1 that will stop rubber washer distorting when you tighten it up

another way to remove it is to put 2 screwdrivers in the holes and turn it gently using the crossed screwdrivers for leverage, you need access to under the bath to hold the other side, you can unscrew it from the front but you need to bend a bit og wire and insert it into the hole to hold the back piece against the bath when you remove the front.
