    Just place a large flat head screwdriver into one of the slots on the drive gear it should move quiet easily one way, make sure engine @ TDC and rotate gear to correct position

    Thanks for the advice gents

    all sorted now........turns out I was just being a pussy (too scared I would break it)

    I used a big ass screwdriver and gave it a firm twist and it came loose


    nice one
