The radiator in my bedroom has stopped heating up. It was fine last winter, but when I removed the thermostatic control section the other day it became clear the pin was fully pushed in and stuck. Does this valve require a replacement or can it be salvaged? My first instinct is to reach for my mole grips but I don't want to unwisely force anything.
