I know the ones you mean - and all mine "died" - had to remove the whole manifold to get the valve off in the end. I'd use something a bit better on reassembly myself (be it cap head/hex head/stainless). The valve itself has a set of hex flats - will measure up tomorrow as i used an adjustable - but guess you can get in with a crows foot spanner or even a oil filter strap. As soon as it starts to turn, its fine, suggesting its a taper thread to me. Hows about a fiver, posted? That works out at 2 cans of Guiness for the skinned knuckles and the postage cost...
