Thanks, A.

It is possible to remove the valve, but I wouldn't mess around with the valve unless u intend to change it or the O rings. The design of where the bolts go into the coolant tank is downright scary. There are just holes on the top of the coolant tank, not raised or marked so it's easy to mis-thread them. And this is 10 yr old plastic (in my case).

There is only 2 things you can change - the entire valve (which includes the valve, housing, 2 O rings and the bolts in one set) or the 2 O rings (can be bought separately).
