Mine came undone quite easily! I wish I'd saved the old valve to show exactly what came off ... I must've throw it cos I can't find it.  :(
I'm sure it was a 15mm socket I used though.

After advice from Andy B I kept trying with mine. I couldnt get a socket to fit as it has a strange number of flats on it. In the end (it was knackered anyway) I used a pair of mole grips to get it off. It isnt on tight exactly, and came of easily. Just make sure you find a better tool to tighten the new one
