you know what, that day was today....and there's no way I'd get a power bar impact wrench to do the job on the Mondeo now.
It's heavily loctited and the last thing I wanted were shock loads/chattering through the crank, cam, flywheel pin, flywheel ring gear lock and associated items. If you're doing the timing belt or need the crankpulley removed get a Diesel Setting Kit. Made the job easy with a simple breaker bar, well till you're clear of the loctite. It's freakishly (surprisingly) easy to turn the crank and if that happens without you knowing bye bye engine, she'll lunch itself.
