  1. if you remove that screw and the plate is there a cross like part under that ther are so called straner wrenches that hook in bath tub drains and the like. you use that to hold the top piece still while another person tightens the part underneath . i have done a lot of plumbing. you can buy those special tools not very exp.

    if that is leaking at that metal screen pice you remove the whole top too reseal the metal too shower base as that is plastic not shure the corroct matireal. for sealing it.there maybe rubber gasket under the floor. under thiten with channel locks pliers. my phone no is on the add for the minimax on the adds call i will walk you throughit. i would think could be done with out pulling shower up do in houses one person top too holdit. one under too tighten it .
