Also, the drain plug won't close tightly, no matter how much pressure I put on the pivot rod attached to the lift rod. How do I tighten that down? Do I need to screw the tail piece in tighter

Maybe you should try using the proper size O-ring?

>>1105156
When you O-ring can't get into the groove, use this to get it into the groove:

Try turning it inside out so that when it wants to revert, its force will want to roll into the groove.

Try trimming your nails to increase manual dexterity.

Actually, nails that long increase dexterity a great amount. If they exceed that amount, they can start to cause problems.

remove the o ring and just use pipe dope

need more detail. does it have the switch at the overflow? or is it the pop up style? looks like later, but your comment says otherwise

>>1105157
ahh...it's a drain not a tub. remove clevis clamp. keep pop up rod all way down. pulse pop up stopper all way in. when joining the two rods with clamp, only move the pop up rod between handles.

get larger size o-ring

Cut your nails you mong

A little bit of white lithium grease or similar can help seat an O ring.

Also, cut your nails.

the ring slides on the other pipe.

>>1105156
Cut your fucking nails

If two things don't fit together easily, they're probably not the right size for each other.

Wrong size or wrong pipe
