How Do I remove a stripped vaccum stopper on my outside water faucet?


Question:I have a metal vaccum stopper on my outdoor faucet and I do not know how to remove it for the screw is stripped. I have drilled out the screw and it still wont budge. I have tried lubricating it but it won't work.

Answers:
Shut off water supply to faucet and replace the whole thing. Even if you get the stopper off, the threads will most likely be stripped .
