People leave the old valve in, leave it open and install one of these.
Not an elegant fix but it works and is cheap
BTW I find it have to believe a valve is both clamped and glued in, normally people disassemble the sticky valve via the 4 bolts. Clean it and lube the stem (the metal rod) with silicone grease. Cycle the valve several times and reassemble. You have to get the tank empty and flush it several times with detergent solution (Dawn) before doing this.
