Default Jammed radiator bleed valve


"Broadback" wrote in message
...
Need to bleed a double radiator, installed July 2000. The front bleeder is
fine, but the rear one is rock solid. Tried WD40, though I use a brass key
it has rounded the valve head before turning. Tried tapping with a hammer,
also managed to cut a rather poor slot in it but still can't shift it. The
big problem is having so little room to work between the two panels. any
ideas please, all welcomed? At the moment it is starting to look as though
I will have to replace an otherwise perfectly good radiator.


Is the bleed valve in a larger plug / bung?
