On me cos I put it in first gear and then used a long breaker bar, after removing hoses to i/cooler so I could get a big enough range of movement, undone no problem.

Either put the car in 5th gear with the handbrake yanked up, or remove the starter and use a screwdriver to wedge the ring gear while undoing the bolt.

If your doing a cam belt change and u choose the in gear method remember to fully time the belt and tension it back up before tightening the bottom pulley bolt!
