Default Removing Aerator From Copper Faucet

Hi,

I need to remove a clogged aerator from a copper clad faucet. The aerator
has corroded onto the faucet. How do I remove the aerator without damaging
it? The faucet is part of an expensive set.

Thanks,
Gary


I'd try a penatrant first. Let it soak overnight. I'd wrap the
aerator with cloth or rubber for a better grip and minimal damage.

Heat will work, but it would probably discolor the faucet spout.
