How do I balance 1 radiator?

You don’t balance one radiator, it’s something you do across the whole system to check that there is an even water flow throughout. To do it you use the valve on the other side of the radiator, i.e. not the one with the user-friendly tap head or thermostat on it. You might need to lift a plastic cover off and use a screwdriver to move the balancing valve.
But don’t, unless you have heated the whole system, bled all the radiators, and are still finding that some of them never heat properly while others are roasty-toasty. And if that’s the case, it’s best to get a central heating plumber in to do it for you. If balancing is required it *might* be possible to do it by adjusting just one valve, but tinkering with one valve can have knock-on effects on the rest of the system so it’s best to be prepared to spend some time checking them all.
