Sweet cheers dude,
also found out most people are pinning the flywheel lol.

yeah you'll need to stop the engine from spinning somehow

screwdriver in the fly wheel (if engine is out of the car)
foot on the brakes (if engine is in the car and its jacked up)

Yeah, the 5th gear/brakes didnt work out so well, apparently people take out the starter and pin it through there (with the engine in the car).

how bout just leave it first?

shoodnt move at all

[Micko]

basicly tried everything to avoid having to other things out
but ended up pinning flywheel and it came straight out.
