Does anyone know how to remove this kind of Tub Stopper?My tub has an inch of water that has been sitting there for 2 days now and it goes down about a millimeter every day because it is soo backed up, i tried pulling out the stopper with alot of force but i was afraid that i was doing it incorrectly. I was just wonderin if anyone has any helpful insight, cheers.

..lulz..to do that i would have to get it awf.

But yes the problem is fine now, i just straight up took a plunger and pumped the heck outta the thing till the 3 day old water finally dispersed, only to leave a faint line of gross.

So I'm good, thanks everyone.

If by some chance someone needs to know in the future - there's a set screw in the stopper that is barely accessable from the side when it's lifed up.
