That cross piece makes it almost impossible to use a snake to clean the lines---
Can that be removed without causing the drain assembly to fall apart?

grab the faceplate with the lingage still attached and pull the works straight up. It will rub the edge of the hole- but it will come out. Next run water to see if the drainage has improved. If so, the stopper is set too long and is partially blocking the pipe. If not, try the snake. 2.5 ft may not be long enough.Yes I'll need to pull the whole thing out and see what happens.
As stated there is a hair catcher piece (screen) I am fully aware of. It's not visible on the photos because I pulled it off for the time being.
Thanks.
