I think I understand what you are saying after doing a bit more research. I see people saying that plate that has the nut on it is attached to the rest of the drain system using some type of lead bonding. You are saying the drain screen nipple piece should unscrew out of that nut or need to be...

So are you saying the screen portion should screw off and I shouldn't have to cut it.

I removed that metal sheet but could not remove that bottom nut. looking at that the picture, the nut portion may be a half inch from the slab. The nut is really low profile and I can get a wrench to really fit on the nut. Could I cut the pipe right below the drain screen at the line shown in...

I tried to remove that nut but its really stuck. Need to try to work on it a bit more. But is the only way to remove the strainer portion is to cut it out. Don't see a way to screw it off.

My house was built in 1960s and I removed the concrete shower pan. On top of the metal shower pan is this metal threaded connector. Can i just cut this pipe flush to floor or do I need to remove the threaded connector somehow.
