You might just be able to do it with the cam belt in place I reckon. Its gonna be close.

i'm guessing i'll have to get an impact wrench on the bottom pulley bolt as the engines out of the car......

Yeah unless you can bodge a way to lock the flywheel

[doski]

if the gearbox is off, just put some of the bolts that hold the clutch pressure plate on and put a tire leaver between them and get someone to hold

If the engine is in the car crank the handbrake on and put it in a high gear, it should hold.
