Hi John

If you have the aerator I think you do then the faucet probably came with an aerator removal tool (see image). If you don't have that tool then you have to try to make a tool using stuff from around the house... a pair of tweezers comes to mind. Here, you need to insert the "tool" ends into the slots of the aerator and then spin the aerator out.

See what you can do here. If all else fails you can always contact the manufacturer of the faucet and have them send you an aerator removal tool... ;)
