PS myco_mikey_mo and PostiveOutlook: I have no idea how to take this damn thing apart.

if your tub has a little lever at the over flow, take out the screws, pull
the mechanism out, run a water hose down it and fill the gaps with a
washcloth, stuff one in the drain and put your foot on it, turn on the
water and wait, the pressure will blow the clog out of the trap

is the plug for your drain the pop up type or is it one of those rubber bastards that everyone loses?

anyway the cover for the overflow should be simple to remove and the
basics for the drain on tubs are always the same, always try to work
through the overflow or you're going to introduce a leak, any long
semi-rigid piece of wire can allow you to snake the drain

Neither, it turns in the drain, not sure how to explain it... but its off now so...

I wasnt able to unscrew the overflow cover, the screws are too rusty. And the actual drain thingy doesnt have a screw at all and is stuck down pretty good, not like I can get a grip at all, nor would I pull too hard in fear of the whole tub ripping apart...
