I believe JamesV6CDX has done this a few times before, so hopefully knows how to do it 'not by the book' ;)

Isn't there a flywheel locking tool in the V6 cam kit?
Yeah, but unlikely it would fit I guess....

Better clear out front half of garage to get the fron tend in.  Didn't want to, as it will all be artificial light :(

Best to drive it in at an angle so that the corner you need most access to is in and under the garage door...

Get a back wind, you could get a good drive.  Driving into the wind could prove challenging though....
