Default Taking a radiator (towel heater) off help please

Hi
I have successfully (thanks to the help received from this group)
removed a (plumbed) towel heater/radiator from its mountings but now I
need to take the actual mountings off!

If you look at:
http://www.biscit.biz/~assami/myson/index.html

....what I have done so far is lifted off the entire heater, leaving
only the pipes emerging from the woodwork, and the valves still
attached to the pipes.

My next challenge is to remove the valves themselves, leaving the bare
pipes, because I need to slip some new woodwork over the pipes.

Presumably I just undo D - anything to watch out for?

What about turning off the water? The heater comes on when EITHER the
CH or HW is on. Is it sufficient to just make sure that neither the CH
or HW is on, or do I also have to do something else like turn off the
CH water supply from its small header tank - NB water for taps comes
from an unvented tank (hot) or direct from the mains (cold).

Thanks for any advice!
Richard
