In my bathroom, the tip of the pivot rod which is connected to the stopper is broken. When the stopper goes down, it has no rod to hook to. Is it possible to re-use and re-adjust the existing pivot rod?
If not, should I get a new one? Which name should I use to describe the hardware that I need when I go to the hardware store?
If you have actually snapped the rod but have enough length to spare you should be able to move it forwards, however are you sure this has happened?
I've Twisted, Pulled, And Jimmied This Sink Drain Stopper But It Won't Come Out. The Silver Lid Also Won't Come Out. How Can I Get This Out Without Breaking It?
The reason I ask is that I had similar symptoms, but all that had happened is that the rod had slipped back through the clevis strap so it no longer connected with the stopper. The clip holding it to the strap made it look like it was just broken, but I eventually figured it out.
Admittedly, on mine there is no hook holding the rod to the stopper, it simply pushes the stopper up, and gravity lets it fall again when you pull the plunger up.
Thank you to the guy who mentioned it took a hammer to slide the ball down the rod to provide extra length after the end of the rod broke off.
Do You Know Those Plug Thingies In The Sink? Mine Is Broken So The Thing You Pull Up And Down Won't Move It, And I Accidentally Pushed The Plug Into The Drain
I had to take a hammer and bang the rod further through the ball to get the 1/2inch extra length I needed. I put the broken end down through my wooden porch slats(providing a hard but not damaging holder for the ball) and hammered the long end of the rod down thru the ball. It took some effort as the ball was pretty stuck on the rod but it did slide down securely and did not slip thru like it was too loose. I got my extra length I needed without having to buy another one and successfully reattached to the clevis rod. Fixed.
This just happened to me, yes the little ball does slide on the rod, although it took a hammer to get it to move. Pushing the ball down the rod 2 cm gave me enough rod for the stopper to start working again.This article was co-authored by James Schuelke and by staff writer, Eric McClure.

To replace a sink stopper, first, follow the vertical bar of the stopper beneath your sink. Then, undo the clamp that connects the bar to the angled rod that enters the drainpipe by pinching and separating it. After that, unscrew the nut holding the angled rod and pull it off. Undo the screw holding the extension bar and lift out the drain stopper. To install the new stopper, push the new sink drain into the opening and tighten the nut to secure it in place. Then, go beneath the sink to reconnect the angled pivot rod to the extension bar, and tighten all of the nuts. Test the stopper and check beneath the sink to make sure there aren’t any leaks.
