Ivee got the same problem this end,have giving it a try but it feels like the pipe might break,i think might need an assistant,to hold the pipe to stop it flexing,then if that fails,get some heat on it,then get another pipe just in case.

My garage swapped that valve over for me with no fuss at all. Cant help more than that sorry.

Mine had to use vice grips to tighten.
Its 17mm on the base but the top is unsized. It's 14.5mm or something.

17mm as you say on the pipe, but I've successfully used a 15mm socket on the valve ..... it's a snug/tap on fit though :y

17mm to steady the pipe then molegrips to unscrew the valve :y well that's how I've just done mine ::)
Got the low pressure one (next to the oil filler cap). Hoping that it's a straightforward tyre valve removal tool job :-\
