THANK YOU! This gave me the confidence to remove the pan without damaging the drain pipe. Success!!!
Thank you for posting this video, it was very helpful. The flange on my pan took a fair amount of work with the drill to get it to loosen. Eventually, with enough use of the drill, some of the rubber lifted up enough that I was able to grab it and pull the whole thing out with pliers (it was about 3" of rubber). And yes, there was no reason whatsoever for emptying any of the water out of the drain, except if you like sewer gas. But otherwise a very helpful post. Much appreciated!
Thanks! Showing how to remove the rubber material was helpful.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you, this is i needed to see before getting started remodeling my bathroom.

Thank you sir for a very helpful video.
*Thank you, this helped with the triplex my brother-in-law and I are rehabbing*
Thanks I Just Saved Money On The Demo Of My Bathroom Remodel...
Just what I was looking for! I hope my removal goes as smoothly. I thought it would be a screw type of drain flange like a tub drain.
Super helpful. I've watched other videos on removing fiberglass showers, but none address this step. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks so much. I had no idea how to go about it :)
very good video, thanks so much.
very helpful, thank you. better than other sites, that just tells me to remove this or cut that. watching this video makes it easy to understand what i needed to cut, what i needed to remove. thanks.
Thanks!

Awesome - thank you!
possible to remove the pan on an exisiting shower with the walls still up The walls are in great shape just the pan is bad
Have a question. My stand up shower is just like the vid shown. I'm trying to replace my drain but it seems the drain is a different set up. The rubber that you drilled out is aluminum and there's no way to unscrew it so I can just replace the drain. It seems like it's an older style compressed fitting. There's no retaining nut to unscrew. Ever run into this problem? Seems I have to remove the entire fiberglass board to remove the drain parts.
I've got tile around the shower pan on the floor, and also above the pan in the actual spot where you stand to take a shower. Had it checked out by a plumber who said the layer of tiles on the floor in front of the pan would have to be broken out to get the pan out, but after looking at this, it looks like the tiles on the ground AND the tiles on the wall will need to be removed. Advice?
This was the video I was looking for. Dam :-) *@! Now I have to do it.
Thank You for the video
Is there a way to remove the rubber flange without destroying it? My pan was put down but the floor is not level so parts of it are not touching the ground...
Great help, thx
I did just those steps, but the pan would not budge! I drilled out an inch by inch on the front base and with a flashlight saw it was completely CEMENTED down!!! Now What? Really, any ideas...Lennar Homes built this home 8 years ago...did not count on the time to remove that.
Anyone know how to replace the rubber flange without removing the pan for these old fiberglass pans? The flange is deteriorating in mine, I think a reaction to cleaning the pan with a lot of bleach.
Great video. Gonna go do it right meow.
Good luck! If you haven't already, please consider subscribing to the channel.
My drain has something like lead in it when I tried drilling it. What do I do to remove it as I'm stuck!
I have that same problem, did you ever figure out how to remove the metal part? Thanks.

Most likely it was lead. I had the same problem. I lost my patience and took a circular saw and cut a square around the drain pipe to remove the shower base (with a respirator of course) ... But wow that really stinks up the house... I used an old junk blade which is probably why, I am not ruining my Diablo blade... I then was able to undercut the drain pipe.
For lead use a screwdriver or chisel with a hammer to bang it out
to easy, mine was set in mortar.
Bob Johnson I'm,dealing with that now. Can you tell me how you got it out? Did you have to cut It into sections? Thanks in advance for any advice!
