[QUOTE="wjurls, post: 9034968, member: 50731"] Best and cheapest method is to use a c-clamp and two small blocks of wood (1"x3" firing strips are perfect). Use the wood like 2 pieces of bread and sandwich the flywheel with the clamp in the cutout for the starter. The wood cushions the flywheel so you don't damage it. It will now only turn a few degrees in either direction before the clamp contacts the engine block and locks it in place. You will never get an acurate torque to yield on those bolts with a freind holding the flywheel in place. To much flex and give will give an inaccurate torque. Kind of like how a flexible fishing rod allows you to catch a 10 pound fish with 2 pound test line. [/QUOTE]
