    1. Rubber sucker, e.g .from child's toy or stick on towel holder.
    2. Ice cube (very cold) on a thin film of cold water

    I think I would try getting a very thin lever under the plug top and try lifting it while also turning the dial.
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.

    What sort of plug? Could you grasp it with pliers? Or is it the click-clack type that you just push?

    Undo the trap & push up the plug from underneath
    I'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.

    You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.

    When mine does that I push down hard and turn it. Usually it will pop up once it has tightened however it will also unscrew if turned the other way and then can be removed
