Get a good quality ring spanner or solid bar (not a ratchet handle) on crank bolt - make sure it if on bolt 100%
Put a piece of wood between spanner/bar and chassis rail to stop the spanner turning
Disconnect coil - Remove spark plugs
Get a trusted friend to "flick" ignition key on and off
The torque a starter motor produces is usually enough to do the job
Ensure you have spanner/bar trapped the right way to undo as well
Watch fingers eyes etc for flying spanners though
Done that my self dave, but the engine is not in the car
