Break it up, if you can. Or take apart as much of the tub as you can and remove the door, casing and framing around the door if you have to. I know you were hoping for something more elegant.

I removed a cast iron tub today by breaking it into small pieces. It took only about 45 minutes with a 8 pound hammer. Sure beats taking out a wall. Email me at johnn10ec@hotmail if you would like to see some pictures of the removal.

Most folks I know take a hammer to it. Someone told me they used a saw. That sounds like to much work. Wear goggles and roll up your sleeves. Best regards.
