Please see attached photo, I try and turn the nut by pulling the spanner
upwards which I presume is the correct way and hold the valve with
pliers but the pipe just bends, Ive used WD 40 and I'm, scared that I

Surely you should be pushing down on the spanner to undo the nut which
should move towards the radiator as it unscrews.
