Hello Anonymous, I am not completely sure on the question that is being asked.
But if it is hard to remove, you can again use a pair of pliers and cloth to help loosen it and then unscrew the rest by hand. If you have a hidden aerator, which is directly screwed into the end of your faucet spout. This usually requires a special key such as this i. Delta key, Moen key etc — Depends on manufacturer of aerator in order to remove it.
But if you do not have this key there are some other options which you can remove it by. You may be able to just unscrew with your bare fingers but if aerator has been in use for a while you may not be able to. If you cannot, find a rubber glove or cloth to help give you more grip to turn the aerator to loosen and unscrew.
Alternatively you could also use your finger nails. You will find small multiple ridges which protrude out and around the aerator Delta, Moen and other manufacturers have the ridges , try and catch your finger nails onto the ridges and twist the aerator out in an anticlockwise motion. Once it is has been loosened you should be able to unscrew the rest of it using your fingers. Get a small flat head screw drivers which will fit inside the gap between the ridges of the aerator.
Once the screw driver is in and lightly tap with a hammer this should also hopefully overcome any limescale build up between the aerator and the faucet spout in an anticlockwise fashion to loosen it and unscrew the remainder by hand. If you find the aerator hard to remove and unscrew it is likely that the aerator has a lot of limescale or sediment build up. Using your chosen cleaning solution white vinegar also works will help dissolve the build-up between the faucet spout and aerator.
You can soak a small cloth with the solution and wrap it around the area for at least an hour, giving it enough time to dissolve the build-up. Alternatively, get a bag and fill it with your chosen cleaning solution and submerge the aerator and spout, leaving it for at least an hour before trying to unscrew the aerator out.
You may also use WD40 to loosen the aerator. Spray in between where the aerator is screwed into the faucet spout, wait a few seconds to let it work its magic and proceed to loosen and unscrew the aerator.
Applying a little bit of heat to the aerator will also help. Use a hair dryer or candle to heat the aerator for around a seconds bit to allow it to expand to break up any build-up. Once cooled proceed to loosening it by one of the methods mentioned previously.
