Bathtub drain removal

Tags: Plumbing
Is using a hacksaw blade and folding in the drain flange the best way to remove a bathtub drain. What type of damage can it cause to the tub?

I do it constantly but a lot of folks do score the tub and if they cut in to deep they not have a leak.

this is especially challenging on acrylic and enameled tubs as cast iron is a lot more forgiving
