I had to replace the front oil seal on the wife's Dolomite 1500 last year.
Even with the car in gear and the wife inside with her foot on the brake
pedal, I could turn the engine (and move the car!) by heaving on the crank
nut. In the end, I disconnected the LT lead to the coil, used a hefty
breaker bar and socket on the crank nut, with the bar jammed against the
chassis, and turned the engine over on the starter motor. The nut came
undone quickly in my case, but I would make sure not to strain the starter
motor if there is no instant give - no point burning out anything
electrical.
Hope this helps,
Bill Davies.
