Wait till the engine cools down and use a breaker bar to undo it anti clockwise.
Sounds like someone has overdone it a little when putting it on last.
From memory its just a 1/2 inch ratchet that fits in it.

lol should have bought a breaker bar first, but didnt know how stuck it was.
yeah i turned it anti clockwise, thats when i snapped the gear in the ratchet. its definitly over tightened.. how would i loosen that?
cheers

I had the same happen to me. (cheap rachet though).
Just use a breaker bar when the engine is cold. You just need leverage and it will come off. My breaker bar has a 1/2 inch lug on it minus the ratchet part.

What Laith said, dont overtighten it putting it back on either.

long bar, pull towords you from the front.
must have been a crap ratchet. ratchets are usually a bit short. use a long bar. if its really stuck you may have to tap it off.
the housing is only alloy so it should break well before the bar ever does.

What Jamie said..... I use my torsion wrench. Never gets over-tightened that way. Cool the engine and apply a bit of inox if its still a problem. Let the inox soak for 15 mins.
