Ive got all the visible rivets drill out along the wall, screws along the bottom removed(had to drill them out) and cannot figure out whats holding that sucker in still! Any hints on whats holding it in????
Any tips are appreciated!, Thanks

Hey Mitch ~

I had the same problem, couldn't figure out why it wouldn't budge. The factory puts a layer of glue on the bottom of the tub to sit directly on the plywood and once I put my tub back in without it, it made sense. In order to get my tub out, I had to use a metal yardstick as a wedge and bang on the end with a hammer. Took some time but it eventually came out. Best of luck to you.

Brad, I appreciate it, I will get a 2x4 and rig something.

A 2 x 4 won't get in under neath the tub like a strong strip of metal.

Oh, okay, I get it. I will find something around here or at home depot, So I basically need to bang the wedge underneath where the tub is glued to the floor. Okay.
Thanks again.
