you know what, that day was today....and there's no way I'd get a power bar impact wrench to do the job on the Mondeo now.

Actually once you have used a Powerbar a couple of times and become confident and proficient at using it so you undo the crank pulley nut with just one sharp blow every time, you realise this is the best as safest way to do it. And you can use it from below with the Powerbar used parallel to the ground and hit from the side so to speak. The Powerbar is specidically designed for this job so all the force is rotational and only applied to the bolt. But yes; whatever tool is used you should warm up the bolt with a heat gun to soften the locking sealant/loctite first.
