Max, there is a tool with two prongs that stick into the crosshatch in the bottom of chrome drain part. You would unscrew that, clean the old plumbers putty off the tub, put some new putty around the bottom of the new drain and screw it back in place of the old one. Clean off the excess putty that should have been squeezed out around drain and Done!

Less then 30 min. The tool and parts available at Lowes, HD or other local stores with plumbing parts.

The only possible problem is if you have to twist so hard to get the old drain off that something breaks. Then it's time to take the tub out or go through the wall to redo the drain pipes.

Once the stopper is removed, there seat that provides the other half of the
seal is still mounted in the tub.  If that seat has corroded, can it be
restored or would I need to remove and replace that?
