Hints and tips please .... the nut fixing the valve to the radiator is locked up really tight. Trying to loosen it results in the inlet copper pipe flexing .. what is the best way to free this up please?

Support the valve body with a old rag and a stillson tool then tilt the tool until no movement on the valve body then undo nut.Sometime tighten the nut first then undo it might free it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I don't possess a Stilson but I do have a large Footprint which would do the same job. Thanks for the quick response!
