Relacing a Tub drain and overflow without removing tub.. hints needed please?!

[MrBennymarco]

overflow cap is easy to replace.... just unscrew the 2 screws and replace it with the new.

the tub strainer looks pretty rusty to me and i think if u were to remove it to try and replace it.... it would just break away due to rust. once that area starts to rust away ur only option is to replace the tub.

the shower head pipe is a simple fix. just unscrew the pipe and replace it. behind the wall is a threaded 90 that the pipe goes into.

im a plumber :)

@MrBennymarco thanks but it's long since been fixed:) I used a screwdriver and gave the strainer a few good whacks on a day I was mad... came right out. still using this tub and the footlok assembly works like a dream :D I will make a vid of the new system soon.
