Default anybody make a tool to hold the damper on a C5?
Need to get the bolt tight but can't hold the engine. Is there a tool that would clamp on the damper that is made for the C5 vette?

Make SURE you disconnect the negative battery terminal before working on the starter though, or your wrench is going to end up welded to the block.
