If you can access the underneath (remove bath panel) then you can remove the trap and push the plug out from underneath.

If you can't get underneath, then a Stanley knife blade can be used to carefully prise out the plug. (Try option 1 first though This May damage the rubber seal ring round the edge)

PS- while it is out, adjust the screw at the bottom of the bar on the plug so that the plug pops up better.

Drill small hole in plug, and insert screwdriver and wiggle it about.

WD 40 around plughole and wheel release.

Remove bath pannel and you should be able to access the bar that runs from the plug to the wheel.

Neil Glover- thanks , i took off the panel and when i forced and wiggled the plug it moved loosening the 2 parts ,then put a feeler gauge between the 2 and BOOM out it came .I have now had a bath and shaved the mo and i feel great.
