How to remove this shower drain grill?

[RrogerD]

Anyone any ideas as to how this grill removes?
I don't want to force it the wrong way for fear of making further problems.

The issue is slow draining. I have tried Wickes Bathroom drain unblocker but hasn't made a difference. I'm suspecting a manual extraction of the crud is needed.

The centre part must turn to be lifted out?

Googling it, it would appear to be a mcAlpine one and the centre lifts directly out. I guess it's just stuck with being gummed up.
Thanks for your reply though.

Use a couple of Allen keys at the outer edges and hook it up and out.

Or one or 2 hooked screwdrivers should do it too.

Some of the flush fitting McAlpine chromed brass wastes do get very tight - They did come with a hook tool as is referenced in your diag



You can buy them - tho a quick call to McAlpine may sort it out, they're usually pretty good.

Have same just hooks out , or use long nose pliers.
