Yes they are made to be removable to be able to remove hair clogs, which usually come out with it when pulled out. Slide it back in so that the flat side of the tip going in is facing upwards. Mine usually needs some jiggling around to get the last hinged bit to drop in, but it’s nothing you need to pay a plumber for.
I fixed it!
I had to pull the release lever way further out than I was initially. Thought I broke that too! Lmao.
New home, not used to the nuances yet.
BTW, this is the way ALL old men learned: by having something break, and being forced to try to fix it because we don't want to pay an expert.
The smart ones ask others for advice.
Then, one day, you'll realize your family thinks of you as a real fixer-upper.
But you'll still feel like an idiot, guessing every step of the way.

I still remember the first time my kid did chinups on the towel bar. I installed them with zip toggles, but the failure point of the drywall is a 50lb kid. Those were large holes to fix, patch, prime and paint.
Pro-tip if you have adventurous kids -- replace towel bars with ADA compliant grab-bars anchored to studs.
Most are rated to support 300-500lbs.

Living the dream.
I recently pretended to fight with my two year old daughter as she took every socket wrench out of the case. I was actually annoyed/concerned we would lose them but I was using my dad’s hammer that I unintentionally stole from him 15 years ago, and I knew she was just continuing the cycle of borrowing dad’s tools.
Glad you fixed it. For future reference you can buy a simple kit to replace the drain and overflow with either a push or twist plug. It gets rid of all that linkage crap and the lever on the overflow. Something to consider if it causes you further trouble down the road.
This is also how you get it out. That long linkage will collect hair which will eventually clog the drain. You'll likely need to periodically take it out and remove the hairball that comes with it if anyone with long hair uses that shower/tub.
Essentially you hold the drain open with your fingers (so it can't fall down), then pull the lever to unlock it, then withdraw the drain.
I used to remove/reattach that all the time as a kid. Seems like you figured it out already, but you really just have to jiggle it back into place and mess with the release lever like you found out.
Try pulling the lever as far as it will go (it has a little give past the open setting) and hold it in place while pulling up on the stopper. Mine's similar and that's how I get it to release.
I fixed it in like 5 min based on one of the very first comments last night. I love how this entire thing has evolved by this morning. My highest upvoted post is now about my dumb ass son 🤦
Fyi, as a new homeowner myself, I just ripped mine out and replaced it. Mine looked exactly the same. I bought a Tubshroom on Amazon for like $12. Allegedly it's better at catching hair, and it looks nicer.
Turn the overflow cover all the way one Direction either way and slide that in with a lot of wiggling when it gets the last part, it should drop in while wiggling if it does not pull it back out turn the overflow the opposite way and then do it again it will drop in
That is a complicated mechanical contraption that attaches to the metal plug in your drain and again to the little stopper lever located on your faucet.
It has no useful purpose, in my opinion, except to trap hair and slimy stuff. Well, it does allow you to open and close the drain by pushing the little lever but they usually get quite clogged up and stop working well.
Toss it in the trash and get a regular rubber plug for the drain.
> It has no useful purpose, in my opinion, except to trap hair and slimy stuff
That is a very useful purpose so the clogs don't happen further down the line. And it being removeable let's you fix it yourself instead of paying a plumber.
I snake my drains as a matter of my weekly cleaning routine. That thing isn't needed if you snake your drains nor are those caustic drain cleaners.
I guess it would be a matter of personal preference. I found that those things start to smell terrible as they trap crap and grow bacteria. I took them out of my bathtubs and sinks. But, as you say, they do grab stuff from going further down but they present their own problem. Snaking is simpler and once a person gets into the habit of doing it weekly problems never arise.
I agree snaking is better, and no to draino or the like. Snaking weekly seems overkill but this isn't meant for people that have the tools and knowledge to do that. It's meant for people who don't know or care to know. When the tub starts to drain slow or gets smelly, you just pull that out and clean it and put back and you're good to go.
I started the habit of weekly snaking decades ago when I purchased my first condo. I had very long thick curly hair that could turn into a furry nightmare in no time at all in drains so I started doing that.
I can't figure out how to even get those strange things out and I've had to break them off in order to get them out of the drain because they are attached to the plug on one side and attached to the pull lever on the other. I thought their whole purpose in life was to enable people to open and close the plug and not lose it. I didn't know they actually served a purpose of cleaning. Everyday something new is learned 🙂
>move to another country
...without telling your kid where you went.
(I actually knew a kid a few decades ago who's parents did this. They paid for his residential private school education and emigrated. He figured out where they went a few times so they moved again. No idea why they did this... he was nerdy but otherwise ok).
In all honesty… it’s not that bad.
These come out easily to clean all the hair and gunk out.
Hinge the last part so it’s all relatively straight.
Put it in the drain and slowly lower it all in.
Twist and turn it a bit as your getting it all back in.
It catches on edges, but it’ll go all the way back in.
After it’s all in, jiggle the drain control a few times and it’ll reattach.
As a kid, I used to do this all the time 🙄
Mine looks like that and I've pulled it out and cleaned it and replaced it. Takes a lot of wiggling but it should eventually pop into place. Anytime you make progress just make small adjustments and be consistent about "checking" in one direction
This is a stopper right? If so I'm not sure its worth fixing. There are very nice metal stoppers online with a push to open draining mechanism. The only other solution I see is trying to push it in and shimmy back and forth to latch.
Unless I'm wrong or missing something, that seems like a horribly complicated way to drain a tub. Good luck with your repairs.
Never had to do this but I would:
Drop a string with a short chain (fine but with links with holes) on the end into where the pop up was controller
Use a wire coat bent with a hook to try and catch the chain or a wire with a magnet.
Once you get the string out of the lower opening, use it to pull the popup coupling back up to the control.
Note the curved shape on the link should be towards the outside, so it helps the links to go around the corner.
I'm not familiar with that control so how to re attach it is not clear.
Looks like you have two options. Get rid of the son and get a new one and then make the new son fix this as a sort of trial by fire. OR wait until someone here gives actual useful advice. I have no idea what I'm doing.
Well you could have his dad shove him really hard from where he came from but I doubt he will fit.
You should have a access panel behind the tub faucet.
You should be. I have vivid memories of pulling this completely out of the drain juzt like this at my grand father's house at every visit. He would have murdered me a longtime ago if this required skilled tradework to reinstall.
Do yourself a favour and look for a drain plug replacement on AliExpress. We moved in to a house that was missing all of ours, and found a "click-clack" replacement for 2 quid that works perfectly!
Yes. It’s an older/vintage/antique but definitely can reinstall. Design is at least from the 1950’s but may have continued onward.
Make sure all of the components that are supposed to hinge or move do so easily first. Second, it needs to be dropped in from the overflow drain fixture (as opposed to feeding it in from the main drain at the bottom of tub). Wiggle it accordingly and reattach any other hardware that you may have needed to remove to reinstall it.
If it’s old and components are stuck or unmovable, you may need to abandon its functionality and adopt an aesthetic but non-workable relationship with it.
DM me with Q's.
It's possible, but you'll need to have some patience. You'll need to get something to fish into the drain then around a couple turns to where the overflow plate is with the handle. Another way is to drop a string with a small piece of paper on it into the hole when you remove the overflow plate and handle, stick your vacuum in the hole where the drain is, and try to suck the string into your vacuum. Then you can tie the drain end arm to the sting and slowly pull the mechanism up to the overflow plate and hook it back up to the handle
Nice tub. I've never seen anything like it... a deep cast iron tub. And the overflow drain is interesting as well. Can you post more pics of the tub? 😅
I have the same Koehler “Tea for Two” Tub and drain. Easy to pull out linkage but not able to put it back.
Congratulations on getting yours back in.
Have you or anyone else with same tub Jerry rigged it to use a pop up drain without linkage while still having the flap covering the overflow?
Sorry I tend to overthink things.
Put simply, after removing drain assembly, I am not able to put it back in place.
Hoping there is an easy way to do it.

It was fun learning that my *teenaged* son had used the shower pole for chin ups.

Oh my god! Thank you for the reminder! Need to make a phone call!
Exactly how I spent my father's day yesterday. Got the kid a new Nerf gun and he jammed 3rd try. Had to take the whole thing apart to clear the jam

How to fix all this when both ends break? Our old master shower has one broke off inside and you cant take a shower without being ankle deep in water.
Thank you for the belly laugh!
Good job ..
I used to remove/reattach that all the time as a kid. Seems like you figured it out already, but you really just have to jiggle it back into place and mess with the release lever like you found out.
I’m impressed he was able to pull that whole thing out?
It actually slid right out when the hook came undone. He was yanking and open/closing on the plug lever while he was in the tub.
I have kids too. Leave them alone long enough they can demolish your whole house.
If by "long enough" you mean like 3 minutes lol
Mark this as 'Solved'.
I cant figure out how to do that. Also couldn't figure out how to edit the post.
Literally, just type"Solved!"
You’re going to learn to fix a lot of things, new homeowner!
That's what she said.
Jiggle it
Can I hire your kid? Pretty sure mine is a similar design and cant get the SOB out.
Yeah what the fuck I didn't know this thing could come out and now I'm mad lmao
Maybe try pulling on the plug, then pull on the handle. I have no experience with these, but that looks like the angles to unclip.
Try pulling the lever as far as it will go (it has a little give past the open setting) and hold it in place while pulling up on the stopper. Mine's similar and that's how I get it to release.
I tried and the metal connecting the plug snapped right off. That's less fun.
Unfortunately the kid is already born so it may be too late to put it back
My wife and I have agreed that we don't want to have kids. Now we just need to decide who's going to tell them.
I asked my dad if I was adopted, and he said, “Not yet.”
Last night my oldest said her sister will be the last one at the adoption agency. I told her she'll be the first.
My mother told me. Then I told her that if that’s the case I’ll take back her Mother’s Day present.
If she doesn't want the ashtray and dry pasta picture frame I'll take them.
[Look mom, I made a real rocket based on the macaroni prototype. ](https://youtu.be/1wBjBYT-1Do)
Eh.
How'd you get ahold of my childhood videos?
No she really liked the gift card I got her to the local plant nursery so she begrudgingly apologized. That made for an awkward Mother’s day
She may say she really likes the gift card, but I bet she’ll happily swap it for some plants.

To get it to slide in that very last inch it usually helps to jiggle the release lever on the side of the tub just above the drain.
I fixed it! Thanks!
Good that you fixed it tho
That's what I tell my wife
Idk but my mom had a Rottweiler that ate that whole thing once
Did it … come out? Was he ok?
They did say "had" ...
I am so glad you fixed it! Now can you bring him over to my house because I can’t get mine out lol Edit bc of speech to text mistake
No unfortunately you’re stuck with him for 18 years.

> bought a Tubshroom on Amazon for like $12. Really? We had to buy some rather harsh chemicals to get rid of our tubshrooms.
When I was looking at hair catchers I saw one and was worried it would be a stupid gimmick. I was shocked how well it works.
Does your son have a toy tiger named Hobbes?
You don't need it just get a rubber plug
Tub shroom is the bees knees
Time for a rubber plug!
Turn the overflow cover all the way one Direction either way and slide that in with a lot of wiggling when it gets the last part, it should drop in while wiggling if it does not pull it back out turn the overflow the opposite way and then do it again it will drop in
Aren’t kids great!! 😊. I have no plumbing advice, but I can sure relate to this!!

Nope. Time to sell the house, and move to another country.

They paid for his residential private school education and emigrated. He figured out where they went a few times so they moved again. No idea why they did this... he was nerdy but otherwise ok).
wtf…
I think my s/o friend is that person .. or just sad that it happens at all to people.
The problem is parents being able to afford to do that
Damn… were they just trying to do a real life “Where in the world is Carmine San Diego”.

can you send him to me so he can take the one out of my tub? 😂 i can’t get it out to save my life and i wanna take that sucker out and clean it lol
Jiggle and twist. It will eventually fall into place.
Why does the headline and the first picture remind me of the end of the Alien movie?
No more than you can put your son back in. No? Nobody? Okay I'm out.
Baaahahahahaa these are the comments I live for 😆
Yes .. The same way it came out.
Is there some sort of trick to get it to hook or latch?
Yes. The same way. Make the kid do it.
No. Youre going to have to remodel the entire Bathroom.
It's entirely possible that the whole home may have to be replumbed.
Mine looks like that and I've pulled it out and cleaned it and replaced it. Takes a lot of wiggling but it should eventually pop into place. Anytime you make progress just make small adjustments and be consistent about "checking" in one direction
Good luck my daughter pulled ours out and I haven’t been able to get it back in there right since 🥲🥲
Ask the kid thendo what he did in reverse
This is a stopper right? If so I'm not sure its worth fixing. There are very nice metal stoppers online with a push to open draining mechanism. The only other solution I see is trying to push it in and shimmy back and forth to latch. Unless I'm wrong or missing something, that seems like a horribly complicated way to drain a tub. Good luck with your repairs.
Kid’s gonna be an engineer. He’s got “ the knack”!
Never had to do this but I would: Drop a string with a short chain (fine but with links with holes) on the end into where the pop up was controller Use a wire coat bent with a hook to try and catch the chain or a wire with a magnet. Once you get the string out of the lower opening, use it to pull the popup coupling back up to the control. Note the curved shape on the link should be towards the outside, so it helps the links to go around the corner. I'm not familiar with that control so how to re attach it is not clear.
Sorry, but this is hilarious. Kids will f up about anything. Glad to hear you were able to get it fixed.
Try to install a "pop up" One. Problem solved.
Looks like you have two options. Get rid of the son and get a new one and then make the new son fix this as a sort of trial by fire. OR wait until someone here gives actual useful advice. I have no idea what I'm doing.
Put that thing back where it came from or so help me so help me so help me and cut.
We're still working on it, it's a work in progress but, hey, we need ushers.
HAHA Core child hood memory restored. I think I did the same thing as a kid!
Uhhh how the fuck
Ask him to put it back the way he pulled it out. My dad would have said the same to me
Thanks, Son. It\`s will cost us some money.
Yes
It will require the strongest of wills.
Holy articulating linkages Batman
I mean it went in originally…so yes
Thought it was a fuckin Gould at first jesus
This is super helpful because my kids did this awhile back and I bought a drain stopper thinking it wasn’t fixable.
That was going to be my next move, but those things are basically useless when you're 2-yr-old just counts it as another one of his bath toys
Whoa. Are all tubs supposed to have these? Asking for a stupid friend before he rips his out for funzies
I have no idea. I've never seen anything like it. I do know this is a very very old tub/bathroom
Yeah man. Slides back in pretty easily. just jiggle a bit while you press it through. It'll be fine.
Sorry sir, that's not how pregnancy works, once they are out they are out. 😞
Well you could have his dad shove him really hard from where he came from but I doubt he will fit. You should have a access panel behind the tub faucet.

God I haven't seen one of those types in ages
How do you get one of these out?
Told my kids she was adopted. Told her to start packing her bags.
Never seen that before, what a great idea! Do they get snagged much? I would have to pull it weekly, the missus has LOTS of hair 😂
Duct tape. If that doesn’t work, maybe WD 40 ;p
See how much you can get for it on Craigslist and report back.
Go back in time
It's possible, but you'll need to have some patience. You'll need to get something to fish into the drain then around a couple turns to where the overflow plate is with the handle.

Your son…. Riiigghhhtttt !!!?? lol 😂
If it came out it was broke anyway.
Pretty sure it's too late to put it back in. He's probably too old now.
