Even with the pop up out the spaces around where it screws in are to small for a snake

@BarryHinsinger Are we talking about a drum auger or a hair snake or Roto Rooter here? It just requires the right tools.

@BarryHinsinger That might work in the overflow tube. Can you add a photo of the PVC situation? As for the popup tube, try a hair snake. If the clog can't be reached with a hair snake then it's not in that tube anyway.

@BarryHinsinger Now I understand you have a PVC 1-hole overflow. If the auger doesn't fit in there then you need a smaller snake. Better to get the right tool than tear open the walls.
