Default How to hold Flywheel when torqueing

How do you guys hold the flywheel when torqueing it. Do you put a another wrench on pulley end of the crank? I do not have my starter on right now so I cant put something in the teeth.

you can buy a tool for it, use an impact, or jam a screwdriver into the flywheel.....

Find a hole on the outer edge of the flywheel that goes all the way through. Stick a scrrewdriver in the hole and lodge it against the block somewhere.

I have my brother hold the nut on the balancer (up front using a 1/2 drive ratchet) while I use the torque wrench in back...

I bought the flywheel turning/holding tool from NAPA. I was able to remove clutch without taking bellhousing off. It also holds flywheel so you can torque the bolts. It is a good investment for $40.
