Default Need a flywheel holding tool

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a Kent Moore J-42386-A or equivalent flywheel holding tool I can rent for a week or so? On my Chevelle only forum we share tools from time to time through the mail - just thought I would give it a shot here.

What are you trying to do?

If it's to keep the motor still while TQ'ing something down, a pry bar or BF screwdriver works most excellent.

Yea, trying to put a new crankshaft pully on. I could use a BF screwdriver, but I am not sure how to hold it in place when torquing the crankshaft bolt down. I usually work by myself in the shop when I get a chance. Perhaps Mr. duct tape can assist.

If you have an old intake/exh valve laying around, bend it about 90* and stick the tip into an available hole in the block then lock the edge of the valve head in between a couple flywheel teeth.
