Hi,

I busted off the threads inside my bathroom faucet while trying to remove what I think is the aerator. I believe it is metal on metal, and I'm wondering how I can go about getting those threads out as simply and quickly as possible.

Thanks.

It is hard to picture that you could actually snap off the threaded ring from an aerator but anything is possible. You could try a broken bolt removing tool that fits inside the hole and has counerclockwise threads, Easyout jumbo would do it.
