Anyone got any idea how to remove a cast iron tub. I really don't care if it
comes out in one piece or not. Looks pretty heavy. If I have to break it up,
what's the best way to do it.
Thanks,
ELY

Saftey glasses and a sledge hammer and go to town.

Hearing protection, safety glasses, work gloves, and the heaviest
sledgehammer or pick-ax you can swing.

As others have said, a heavy sledge hammer. Be aware the shrapnel
coming off that tub can be sharp and dangerous. Throw an old
blanket, paint tarp, bed sheet, or some such in the tub to slow
down flying debris.
I'm sure you will swing at this thing a time or two and swear it
isn't going to break. Have faith, when you hit it hard enough it
will shatter like a piece of glass.
