After replacing the hot, cold and diverter valves, seats, and washers
without fixing the problem, I opened the wall behind my tub. I think
water may be coming from the overflow cover. I removed the two screws
that hold the cover, pryed out the old gasket and went behind the tub
to remove the vertical overflow pipe so I could clean rubber from the
angled fitting that the cover screws into. What is this fitting
called?

I'm having trouble removing this fitting. There were two other screws
about 1/2" lower than the two that held on the cover. I removed them
but that didn't help. In fact, they don't seem to do anything. Can
someone tell me what are these screws for?

I also can't remove the overflow pipe from the rest of the drain
assembly. I'd appreciate hearing some tips.
