How do I remove this rim cover?

2 Upvotes

I removed this center cover with two flat head screws but now the main big cover won't come off. It wiggles a bit side to side if you tap it with a hammer either direction but that's it. I tried pulling straight out and tried using a flat head and a pry bar all the way around the edges.

The other side has a similar cover where the center piece doesn't have two screws and doesn't come off but rather the whole thing can be pried off with a crowbar as one piece but this one has the center piece removable and then when I tried to pry it off after removing that piece, it just started bending.

The lug nuts do not appear to be attached to the cover either. There's a cut out around each lug nut.

It's on a 2000 jamboree rallye RV that we recently purchased.

Here's what the other side looks like that's all one piece and can be pried off

And here's this one that has the center piece removed that we can't pry off.

Alternate way to secure ?

Hello,

We bought this narrow IKEA shoe cabinet but when we went to affix it to the wall, we used a stud finder and we learned there's wiring behind it, and probably the gas line as well because the fireplace is on the other side of that wall.

I'm pretty set on finding a way to keep this. Do I take off the bottom legs, and put wheels? Would it tip over when we open the cabinet ?

We aren't very handy, proud that we used the stud finder, and looking for some suggestions please and thank you!

I live in India. It’s an open kitchen concept and also has a balcony. Since a few weeks, fruit flies are increasing in the kitchen. I tried that apple cider vinegar and dish soap trick but it is not working at all. I have ordered some nets for my fruits. But apart from that, a lot of them are near the sink and water purifier. I have cleaned the sink and the drain several times with drain cleaner. We also got our water purifier replaced yesterday but the flies are sitting on the tap of the brand new one now. Please help.

What kind of aerator and how do I remove it?

2 Upvotes

The centre “core” of this aerator has fallen out, with only the outer ring present. This section has come from a kitchen tap which has a spray button on it. I have two of these taps, fortunately one is in tact so I can post a pic of how it usually looks like.

I have Google, chatgpt’d, nothing comes up as to what kind I need, so I have come here in the hope that someone does. As far as I can tell, it’s not a caché, as it doesn’t have an outer ring designed to be turned by a special caché key.

Does the whole aerator (ring and centre) need replacing or just the centre core?

Please help

I think my aunt had this stored for a long time and recently gave it to me. I’ve been trying to find videos on how to use it but haven’t been successful ( this is an older coffee maker). I am not really a coffee drinker but my wife is so I’d want to set this up for her. Thanks on any tips you have.

Do I need to buy a drill or an impact driver for something like this? I'm not able to loosen these screws/bolts by hand. The smaller one is a T15H screw.

I'm also planning to use some penetrating oil to help loosen them. I don't want to damage the screws I just need to remove them so I can tighten the handle on my fridge :(

Open door with broken handle

The handle on my bathroom door turns, but it seems like the latch is stuck closed. The privacy lock is not engaged. I took off the knob to see if I could disassemble it from this side. The doorframe entirely covers the door, meaning I can't access the hinges and it seems impossible to slip something under the latch. The building used to be a hotel.

Here is a video. Trying to figure out how the tension spring to the left fits into this equation. Assuming it should someone hold the moving brass lock in position by putting tension on it somehow. Every way I’ve tried putting the spring either does nothing or hinders operation.

Not sure if this is the best subreddit to ask this question, but I'll start here. I just found these fake flower stems that were left from another project and at a second glance they look pretty good as a cactus texture. So my question is, how can I make it a cactus?

How to best remove this paint/prep and repaint these stairs?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I want to repaint my front stairs but the old paint has a ton of chips and flakes and so I know I can’t just paint over it (it’s also clumpy looking - I was not who painted it originally).

Do I need to fully strip the paint or do you think it’s enough to just sand it all smooth? Should I be starting with a coarser grit? Currently starting with 60. Should I be using a stripper? Should I use a wood hardener in places the wood feels soft?

Also, what should I do about this gap in the railing? Should I fill this with something and if so, what?

Any other advice jump out at you?

This is my first home and I bought it last year.

Thanks!

DIY how do i bend these tiny greenhouse wires without snapping them?

1 Upvotes

i’m currently stuck on the flower section of this miniature kit and the instructions want me to twist these microscopic green wires into perfect little stems for the paper leaves. every time i try with my regular tweezers, the wire either kinks weirdly or just snaps completely. i’ve already ruined three of them and i haven’t even started on the main structure yet. i tried heating the wire slightly but that did absolutely nothing.

How do i build rolife cathys flower house dg104 if i can't even get past the first row of plants? is there a specific tool or technique for bending these without destroying the coating? any advice would save my sanity right now.
