[taxi48]

can anyone tell me how to remove toilet the screws at bottom pan have rusted thanks for previous help

you still not mucking about with that rod ?

can you not drill the head off.

 

[breezer]

drill them out.
or if you no longer need that pan, hit it with a sledge hammer

If you have a Wilkinson store local, they sell the JML screw remover for about £8.
Don't know if its any good though!

 

[seco services]

have you got that rod out yet ?
and why are you trying to remove the pan ?

i have not got rod out i am trying to remove pan to try push blockage other way thanks

 

[seco services]

their must be someone in ireland who has some drainage gear.
augers etc.

weeks time i will be in carlow ireland collecting a machine, but hopefully you'll have the rod out by then.

 

[taxi48]

would you not recomend taking the toilet off

 

[seco services]

well hard to say without seeing the job i have never resulted to that.
so if the rod is stuck in the pipe is that from the drain towards the pan or from the drain going away from the pan ?

where is the actual block between the drain and pan ?

 

[taxi48]

the block is along that sewer i only know this because that was the pipe i was clearing

 

[seco services]

trouble is you might not gain anything removing the pan.
you still may have better access from the drain.

taxi, seco provided you with a link in your previous post on this. Within that link there is a 'Retrieving Tool' for recovery of rods in drains.

Did you get one or are you having trouble locating one?

Getting the Pan off won't solve the problem of the Rod being stuck. You need to get that Rod out mate.

if you start getting the arse with the job just use this
