I have removed the 2 torx bolts. The valve will come out a little but is binding. Should it just pull out or is something else holding it?

A bit of force should do it mate, it is supposed to come right out, unless it is broken. If so you will need to use a bit more force, and then be sure you get all the pieces out.
