That doesn't make any sense.
Rather than starting at the far end of the string of dependencies (asking how you're going to kill all those alligators, when all you are doing is draining the swamp, but even that isn't really necessary because it's really all about building a bridge over the swamp, but you're stuck at killing the alligators), tell us what you need to do, and we'll point you toward the best way to do it.

OP, if you're referring to being able to loosen the damper bolt without holding back on the flexplate, yes you can. Either loosen the bolt with an impact, or brace/bolt a piece of steel to the flexplate bolts and break it loose with a long breaker bar.

I think he might be asking how to remove the damper if there's no flex plate there, which of course makes it harder to hold the crank still. But I'm not sure.
In which case, the answer would be, a ¾" drive impact socket, a long breaker bar, and A BIGGER HAMMER.

BAM, loosened bolt.
Be certain that you have the orientation of the breaker bar in the correct position to loosen the bolt, otherwise you might break something, or strip/ break your bolt and crank.
This method may not be for the original poster, for that reason...
