Hello,
During re-decoration in my house, I decided to take the radiator off and somehow manage to break the spindle pin atop the lockshield valve (?).
I managed to take the radiator off with the water turned off but now find it impossible to turn it back on since there is no grip at all to turn the head, even with pliers or vice grippers. The thermostat valve (?) /other side is ok and able to turn that, but I am unable to turn the head on the return pipe valve?/lockshield valve?.
I feel I will probably have to replace this lockshield valve(?) in order for me to get it operational. I have scoured the internet on advise for replacing this, or to find an alternate way to turn the head back on, but I can't seem to find any information on this.
Can someone advise on how I can go about turning on this valve or how I can go about replacing it (and if it is possible for me to replace it - I am a novice).
Any help on this matter will be appreciated.
Regards
MT
