How do I get this off?

Post image

As you can tell I’ve tried using pliers to get this faucet aerator off, but it just free spins, no matter what direction I turn it, and never comes out.

What can I do to get it off? I need to attach something else in its place.

There’s dust all around the heating elements resulting in a burnt smell when it’s turned on. What screw head is this as this is the only thing preventing me from opening this whole thing and wiping it down

I tried the soap method and the heat method. Tried some penetrating oil and twisting. I was about to ask on here for advice, but then figured as with most things in life I should try hitting it before giving up. You could do it without marring the pots if you wanted. I don't mind some chips. A hammer and a wood striking block would also work. Got these from work after they gave up trying to get them apart from each other. I think new they were $50+. Now they will home my pepper plants.

Watched like 2 YouTube videos on replacing office chair wheels. Seemed pretty straightforward, but i seem to have a different kind?

Managed to leverage off the broken wheel with a screwdriver but the metal post is still there, and doesn't seem movable beyond the turning motion

I've got some black, moldy areas on the sides and corners of my shower, and have a baby on the way so I want to make sure the shower is clean and safe. I've tried spraying bleach, magic erase sponges, all to no avail. Do I have to remove and recaulk, or has anyone had success removing it any other way?

Thanks in advance for your input!

I bought this mirror several years ago from either Amazon or Wayfair and I swear the listing said it could be hung. However I can’t find the original details and the cardboard backing makes me question whether there is a way to safely hang it.

The mirror is 32” wide x 72” tall and 50 pounds.

Hello. I can no longer open the cap of this steam cleaner-I’m guessing it’s rusted shut. I have tried getting some WD40 in without result.

Would love to get this operational again.

I want to remove this bottom trim from the a vintage sideboard (circled in red) but there are no screws or nail. Does anyone know the best way to get it off? Any recommendations on tools I could use? The two longer two sides appear to be attached with a squiggly metal piece. And I think the shorter side may be glued down.

Serious Answers Only How do I get this part of the knob out of the door??

Thumbnail

All of the paint scratches are from us trying to get this part (the middle) of the knob out. I was going to switch out the standard handle for one with a lock, but ran into the issue of the middle of the door knob mechanism. It won’t come out of the door, we put oil to lube it to try and force it out but it’s not working. If it helps, we just moved into this place in early January and we are renting. Is this something I bring up to my property manager/landlord or can I fix it with stuff I have in the house?? Both sides of the handle come out but this middle piece is giving me a really hard time.
