How do i remove this radiator

[Justin Passing]

That's the bottom of the pin and is inside the valve. You won't get a coin in there

I have used a coin many times. I'm speaking from experience.

OK you don't have that experience perhaps. So hush!
The pin is sometimes drawing-pin shaped, witha a bigger flat end, but the action is identical.

First TRV I could reach, a Honeywell still in its box:

That whole black plastic bit is the "pin". It looks like there's a smaller pin in the middle but there's not. That's not the issue though.
Where the Pin is fat like this you can use a small washer.

As I already explained, if a coin won't fit use a small piece of something hard.
No I am NOT referring to the decorators cap.

OK?

The diagram is NOT wrong - there are many types of trv, they nearly all work on the same principle though.
There's a gap you can help fill.
C'mon you, MADRAB and DP have all been doing it long enough!

So, I don't or I do?

The practice/trick/tip is widely known and well documented, that is not in dispute.

The diagram is wrong, is my point!
Surely it's obvious to see

And, no, I won't "hush" how rude.

Just to clear this up and not have a back and forth which I'm not interested in...

... If one was to attempt to put a coin or any other type of spacer, where indicated above by the arrow, one would find themselves getting very wet, and everything around them.

I must admit that if someone mentions the 'pin' as part of a TRV, then I would think about the pin in the valve (usually it's when it's stuck), not so much in the TRV head. TBH - I would usually call the part in the head, that is pushed down by the expanding sensor onto the valve pin, the spindle.

Exactly... The valve is different to the actuator.
