How can I break items down into their components
In my Junk inventory I can see the components that make up an item. For example, an Adjustable Wrench yields Steel and a Gear. There are also weapons and armor I don't need, as well as debris lying around my settlement in the form of cars, tires, trees, etc.
How can I turn these things into their component parts for crafting?

The best reason to break down the junk into it's individual components, is as their original items, they have a weight, and weigh you down. If you scrap them, they automatically show up in your workbench as the raw items. Definitely worth scraping all items...

It Breaks down automatically and for Items such as apparel and weapons you are going to have to manually scrap it by dropping it on the ground (I'm new to fallout 4 hope my answer is clear) and if a junk Item like handscuffs(screw, spring, and steel) has a required material such has a screw that will be used on the item you have crafted, and for the other material it will be turned into raw material, so you now have an added spring and steel into your inventory.
while I was typing this I just found out that you can scrap an item from your crafting table, ex. working on my armor at the armor workbench and turned my leather chest piece into boiled leather chest piece but I ran out of leather when I wanted to turn my left and right leather arm into boiled leather I had allot of leather items that wasnt junk so I just scrapped it into material.
also just picked up some more info, junk is also useful and can be bobby pin and it provides steel material for required material and if you have 100 steel it will not go straight to your bobby pins (required for picking locks).
hope this answer was good enough, my second day on fallout 4 lol

I click on the pip boy, go to my Junk folder and click X (on Xbox One) to drop items.
Do this near your workbench, then click on the workbench and highlight the item you have dropped and scrap that item; be it armor,items or guns.
I do it with all the item I don't need
