How do I remove a stuck tub stopper?

My tub drain stopper does not work so I tried to pull out the tub stopper through the clean out to adjust it but it seems to be stuck. Is there a trick to pulling it out?

Sometimes they have a small hook at the bottem of them. Try turning it and then pulling it out.

There is a "bucket shaped" stopper on the end of the linkage. I would guess that hair and gunk are preventing you from removing it. Try pouring some boiling water down the overflow hole and then pulling on the linkage.
