Bleed valve - knackered

[deefadog]

I bled the radiators yesterday and on one of the older rads, when i tightened up the bleed screw as much as i could, it is now dripping!, i can see around the rim that it has some rust, so i am guessing that the seal has gone!

Now, i have never removed one of these completely before, but can i just get a replacement bleed screw, turn off the valves and replace, or are there different sized screws?

Thanks for any advice!
