I Have to pull out my tub to replace the sub floor underneath it. My question is can I pull it straight out or do I have to lift it and then out. I'm trying to not have to pop off too many tiles so I hope it can come straight out.

It is going to depend on if the tile goes around the edge of the tub and if you have a clear pull out space. Obviously the drain and overflow tube will have to be disconnected, and it will probably slide out. Now do you have room to work once it is removed? Leave some access from below because it will be a bear to reconnect the drain and overflow.
