Boiler keeps cutting out after leak & no hot water

I had a play with the bleed valve and couldn’t seem to find a way to get it working.

Is this the nut I should ondo (circled below)?
Should I just support the body with some mole grips and slacken the top nut with a spanner?

NO hold the top assembly with grips and crack this nut with a wrench till water comes out, with the power off and the valve lever set to manual

Thanks.
Unfortunately doesn’t seemed to have worked.

I put the valve in manual, undid the bottom nut and water came out almost instantly.
So I turned the valve off manual and turned the hot water on and the bubbling noise came after about a minute, then the boiler cut out.
I looked into the boiler fault codes and it seems it is tripping out to the error “overheat lockout”.
