Q: I would like to remove my old tub drain, but it won't budge. I imagine it's supposed to unscrew, so I tried squirting it with WD-40 and tapping it lightly, to no avail. What should I try next?

Before you caulk the bathtub to the wall tile, fill the tub with water. That'll open the gap to its in-service size, making the caulk a lot less likely to crack or pull away.
