I have a standard bathtub with trip lever. The lift bucket is stuck in the open position (so the tub drains, but I cannot close it to take a bath). I have removed the trip lever but the lift bucket seems stuck in the overflow pipe. I can’t seem to budge it at all-I can’t remove the linkages either. I’m afraid that if I pull too hard, I will break the linkage or the bucket and have an even worse issue. Any ideas how to get the lift bucket out?
I put an endoscope down the overflow. The bucket appears to be ok, just locked in place by rust/deposits? I would like to just soak it to dissolve rust, but obviously anything I pour into the overflow mostly goes down the drain
