Mend Baxi 828E Open Diverter Boiler

The drain cock won't open?

I'm trying to replace the diverter valve as per the very useful instructions below but the drain cock on my 828E boiler won't open. It seems to have a ratchet type over torque mechanism on it, i.e. it rotates with a click without opening the valve. I have tried pushing on it hard with no luck. Any alternatives or ideas?
