Hi,
Today i was replacing all of the valves on the central heating system ahead of a re-pipe.
All but one were straightforward, but the last one ( isn't it always ) didn't feel like it was tightening up and I snapped it off in the radiator.

Is there any easy way of getting it out please, or is it the usual left-hand tap screwed into it until it unscrews ?

Photo attached, although I'm not sure how clear this will make it.
Main picture is into the end of the radiator, other pic shows the sheared fitting.
