I had a go at replacing the front crank seal today,however,i couldn't get the bolt undone.The issue was i couldn't stop the engine from turning(i think due to the fact that the old girl is LOW in compression)So without the convenience of a rattle gun,what is a good method?

Thanks for that,its just sometimes the simple things in life give you the most grive.I Will attempt the hammer and chisel method,just getting somewhat concerned cause there isn;t much of the plug head to play with.

Can you weld onto soft alloy?If so i think welding a nut on and then using a spanner would seem the way to go.ive had a set of locking pilers on it with good grip but it just keeps chewing the plug(whats left of it)away.The plumbers wrench has done the same.It seems very tight.

Good point,i mean the head is VERY rounded.It seems to be some kind of softish metal,perhaps alloy.The best option maybe to try and weld/mig some kind of nut to it,however i'm not equiped to such a job.

Due to the long range fuel tank being about 10cm from the plug access is somewhat limited.No mig.
