Machine mart sell an electric impact wrench if you don't have a compressor etc. This is what we used but you still need to lock the flywheel as even with car in gear and handbrake on, engine still turned

yeah this is what I had. i'm making a little bracket which will stop the engine turning then hopefully with a decent breaker bar I should be able to get it undone. :thumleft:

I've not tried that no. I've already got a bit of metal to make a small bracket. I'm not a big fan of just jamming something here or sticking something there.
