Hi, Some have the top stopper part screw off of the stem below. For a liquid drain cleaner though the point is that you are able to pour it through water in the sink and it, being heavier than water will sink through and on to the clog.
There is no need to remove the stopper if using liquid drain cleaner. Hope this helps.

I swair I can remember having sinks with a similar set-up where the "stopper" came free without disconnecting anything, but it has admittedly been a long time. -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cy Selfridge Sent: Sunday, August 26, 2007 5:40 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Slow drain Hi, I presume that the stopper you are referring to is one of those which can be raised and lowered by a lever?

There should be a lever sticking out of the rear of the pipe and you have to remove this lever in order to pull the stopper up and out.

So, I decided that before I did a bunch of work on it, I'd try using some liquid drain opener. However, I cannot for the life of me, remove the "stopper". It seems like every other drain I've worked on, but no matter how I twist or pull, the stopper refuses to come out, so I can't pour the opener down the drain. Anybody have any suggestions?
