I have a blockage running from my shower to sink and out to the waste pipe. I think I need to unscrew this section of the end of pipe to get rid of the blockage, probably hair. I ran a long bendy pipe unblocker from the shower and that didnt work so im assuming the blockage is happening at this bend. Its very hard to unscrew, is there an alternative solution?

thanks guys

its only the end bit that unscrews you need to use a spanner or a good pair of grips on the raised nut part and unscrew as normal
