Yes its removable ,use a spanner,not the grips that you have tried.

Thanks Terry. I know the evidence is obvious, but aside from the grips, I really have 'swung' on it using a mechanics' socket & wrench. Started me thinking it's not made to come out.
I'll give it another go.

They can be awkward to remove,have you considered a new bar mixer ? your valve shows scale build up in the ports.
have got them and similar out by pouring a 2 kettles of boiling water over and inside the brass valve,then unscrew while very hot
you have to remember they have been tightened by a machine and could have some jointing/thread seal compound especially if its made in china

swinging won't do - it needs shocking- air wrench or cordless impact driver. If you have a friendly garage/tyre place you use, take it there with the socket and a drink for them
