This is what I meant regarding the jubilee clip method. The jubilee clip provides a stop point so the chain wrench doesn’t keep slipping, although I grant you that the clip might slip. I take it that you didn’t try this method?  By butchery, I meant a hole for a screwdriver as a lever but hey ho, it’s damaged now. 
Hopefully not too expensive to sort out. 

Unfortunately I didn't try that no, the access was so horrific I could barely fit my socket down there so not sure if I would have had the space to angle the wrench like that. I did attempt the screwdriver through the middle of the housing but was only possible access wise from underneath car and even then it was difficult to apply leverage and move it. Good news though, the parts were only £60 and hopefully labour for the mobile mechanic won't be too much more and I may have a lucky escape. Thank you for your help.
