Try this thing instead.
When hair starts to slow our shower drain, I use something like this.
You 100% do NOT need access from underneath. This is something you can easily do yourself right from the top side.
/u/chrisbrl88 is right on the money.......if the drain cooperates. Looking at yours though it is old and beat up so it might not remove so easily. I encountered the same thing. Inevitably the cross piece that most removal tools use will snap off and you wont be able to do much.
Get yourself one of these instead: https://www.amazon.com/Superior-Tool-04500-Unlocking-Installing/dp/B000WUBLO2/ref=sr_1_15?keywords=tub+drain+removal+tool&qid=1569444540&sr=8-15
It goes inside the drain and expands to give you a better grip. Having a heat gun handy will also help to loosen it up. I had to put a wrench on it and sit in the tub and push the wrench with my feet to finally get it to budge.
You could likely clean the corrugated black pipe with a standard drain snake or one of these "drain king" decloggers.
Thanks for tipping me off to the existence of the triple wall pipe.
This is what I recommend.
That and a 2" BAP adapter.
I have used this and this in the past. The first one works better because it has smaller holes in it.
You could try one of these but I admit I’ve never used it so I don’t know how well the hair-catch feature on it will work. It sits on the crossbars after you’ve unscrewed the plug from the drain.

100% agree!
I ran into this nifty solution for hair problems...

Like u/OpticalPrime said, "Push Pop up Sink Drain ". Think commercial use where you don't want Joe Public to pop out and steal the stoppers all the time, so there's the screw-in aspect to keep things secure. But after it is screwed in, you can still pop the top up & down for draining.

I guess it was a rushed job, as right behind the toilet is this https://imgur.com/a/64x60ot
This is it when it's slightly flooded, it's actually a pathway where you can walk and that there's a drain on the right side (picture overflowed). Sometimes it gets much higher than this, which is when the water goes in from the floor drain. Would something like https://www.amazon.com/Backflow-Preventer-Toilet-Bathroom-Silicone/dp/B075WRS7VW work?
You don’t need that unless you need to stop the tub. We have the same stopper and you’ll lose your mind having to unclog hair from the tub every month. You want a strainer! Not a foot actuated stopper, unless someone is taking baths every other day.
I’m not sure how to reassemble that stopper.
Install one of these:
drain cover
Just replace it with a non-overflow drain like this https://www.amazon.com/Stopper-Without-Overflow-Bathroom-Lavatory/dp/B07S5Y3HN9

I’ve heard these work great for catching hair. I was actually looking into them myself because we are a family with three girls (the 3 boys don’t shed so much) and I just pulled a huge clump of hair out of our shower drain yesterday.
Drain King saved me $15k. 3 plumbers and someone from the water department all said that the main drain pipe at my house must’ve collapsed when it backed up... nope. It was frozen, and some hot water through this bad boy fixed it.
Anyone try the reusable version? Is it any good?
And a somewhat more pleasant video of the NSFL removal featuring an attractive woman.
There's actually a tool for removing those. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Tub-Drain-Remover-HDX170/204218645 Of course, I don't know if it will work since you broke off one of its 4 attachment points. If that's the case, they also make another expanding tool to unscrew it from the inside. https://www.amazon.com/Superior-Tool-04500-Unlocking-Installing/dp/B000WUBLO2/ref=pd_sim_469_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B000WUBLO2&pd_rd_r=GBZ9V6R7EQQ9KW6TN2QY&pd_rd_w=n7Bxb&pd_rd_wg=ZOVQi&psc=1&refRID=GBZ9V6R7EQQ9KW6TN2QY
Finally, if your tub's ell is some uncommon size and you can't find a new strainer for it, try Watco. http://watcomfg.com/watco/ They make kits and adapters for a whole bunch of old tubs.
I have the dollar store version of this.
Works great in our Jacuzzi tub. Both my wife and I have long hair, so it’s definitely necessary!
I have the linear drain sitting recessed into the concrete with the lip sitting above the concrete about 3/8" because the tile sits inside the linear drain (you cut the tile to fit inside and recess down into that drain). In order for it to be flush the drain has to be higher than the concrete unless I'm missing something. Here is a picture of the linear drain installed (product image) and you'll see the walls of the drain are flush with the tile. Here is a link to the drain on Amazon.
\> And out of curiosity, if you're doing a topical membrane why the 2 pours?
I am just verifying that a topical membrane is "enough" and if I am missing anything.
I do see what you're saying about cutting the channel larger (potentially) and then waterproofing and reinserting. I'm going to investigate that in the morning.

for an easy solution, you could go with something like this dome grate. The obvious downside to that it sticks up in the middle of your sidewalk.
A better option would be to saw off the last few inches of the sidewalk panel and add a trench drain. This would give you significantly more surface area and reduce the likelihood of clogging. I'm picturing something like this drain that I saw in an episode of Ask This Old House
