Use a pair of pliers and with it in the down or closed postition turn the knob on top with the pliers counter clockwise this should unscrew the knob.My bath tub drain is clogged and i can't pull the tub stopper out to see what is going on?
there are many different types of ';tub pop ups';. sometimes they get stuck due to hair holding it which may be why you are not draining well.





depending on your type, it MAY unscrew, or ';MAY'; just pull straight up.





if you have a mechanism %26lt;trip lever%26gt; mounted on the side, you may have to dis-assemble that part first. %26lt; i doubt it but...%26gt;
Most of the metal stoppers are metal and unscrew, yours may be corroded. Try plunging with the stopper in the up position.
