Oh yeah I forgot to mention I had it in 5th yeah. Funny you mention it though as I also took the front wheel off and when I was working in the dark as first I hadn't noticed that with the wheel off and studs out that all it would do is spin the shaft! Felt really daft when I realised. Put the wheel studs back in to solve that.
I'll try the cranking the starter method tomorrow when its light. Given that I still don't know if its safe to rotate the engine backwards at all, using the starter method I'm at least working "with the engine" rather than against it.
Cheers folks will let you know how it goes
