HELP! shower drain

[baggs]

Hi!ive opened up the access hatch on my inter 23fb

to access shower P Trap...as i need to remove the shower floor drain as well and replace with new

what tool can reach up there and twist off the locking nut for shower drain?

a plumbers crows foot tube wrench?

DO I NEED TO REMOVE UNDER CHASSIS BELLY PLATES FOR BETTER ACCESS?

warm regards from the Land of Downunder

is it not draining or something else? If not draining, try pouring some vinegar down it and let it set, then use air pressure to blow it clean. I use a cheap plug for the drain, drilled a hole in it and installed a metal valve stem and used a compressor at 60 psi and it worked. I could post a picture of my "invention" if my explanation isn't clear
That trap looks very difficult to remove, if not impossible.
