Oh shit, I was hoping you wouldn't say that one as it is something like 250nm and then angle tightened as well! 
If the engine is in the car I would personally slap the sump off and stick a nice fat bit off wood up against the counter balance of the crank and turn it over with a spanner (not on the motor) until it locks.
If the engine is out of the car and box/clutch etc is off then if you look on the rear of the XE casing you will see a circular hole that will let you put an extension bar through it horizontally. Then use 2 of the 6 flywheel bolts, 1 you put through the ring end of a spanner, the other you wind into the opposing hole, as it comes round it will lock against the bar.

Stick the car in 4th gear, hand break on get someone to sit inside it pushing on the break pedal as hard as he/she can.
then it will crack off easely...
