Thanks Guys,
I did as suggested and held the pinion in the jaws of my "Workmate" and then undid the castellated nut.
Once I was confident this was how others had done it and that there weren't any traps (it had crossed my mind the nut might have a left hand thread) I put a bit more force on the spanner and it came undone relatively easily.
Managed to replace the pinion clip, then wire brushed the outside then applied a coat of primer plus semi-gloss black. Very pleased with the outcome. Just hope it runs OK once it's on the car.
John.
