Hook a set of jump leads from another vehicle up to the battery and then use the engine again, you might have to do it several times, or let it get a bit of momentum (before it hits the chassis). Where abouts are you located?

Geoff30:
Finally got the thing undone, just as I was about to call the scrap man to take the landy out my sight!!!
I ended up cutting 3 grooves into the washer beating it with a big hammer and chisel then bouncing on my breaker bar with scaff bar slid over it.
This after breaking 2 breaker bars, heating the life out of the bolt and washer and trying just about everything.
Now just need new washer and a good clean up.   :dance:

Sorry a bit late with advice, but may help others in future, you need about 3ft of 1" angle Iron the HD stuff then drill 2 holes to hold some bolts and cut a notch for the 27mm socket, the bolts go into the pulley, and when you crack the crank nut with a breaker bar, the angle Iron locks the pulley in place by contacting the floor, I'll measure the one I made and but on here when I finish work to night. :D

Cheggs - He's already got the propper crank locking bar that sits against the chassi and bolts to all 4 holes in the damper - this problem was even WITH that fitted!
