How do you remove a bathtub drain plate?
Unscrew the knob on the top of the drain stopper to see if there is a set-screw underneath. If your drain stopper has a set-screw, use a small screwdriver or a hex key to unscrew it. Twist the entire stopper counterclockwise until it pulls free from its mounting post. Remove the mounting post using pliers.
What should I do if my bathtub drain plug pops out?
There SHOULD be a P-trap below the drain. If you can get the tailpiece off of the bottom of the tub (unscrew the metal drain, then the tailpiece should pop out), you should be able to spear the plug.

Why is my bathtub drain plunger not working?
As far as I can tell, the linkage broke off completely due to old age. If I unscrew the trip lever and cover, it’s not attached to anything and I can’t feel anything if I try to reach inside. I’m reasonably certain that the plunger is down since water doesn’t drain from the tub. Is there an easy way to retrieve the plunger?
