Default Flywheel locking tool
Where can I get one of these? I did a search but nothing really turned up. I do not really want to use the screwdriver method..

Do you have to have one to R&R the pulley? Can't you just put it in gear
with the ebrake on?

M6's you can put into 4th gear. Autos dont work that way.
the Ebrake has nothing to do with the engine, it pulls a cable that's connected directly to the rearend.

Thanks, I forgot about autos. Mine is in route I should see by Tuesday. (SLP 25%UD)
Never installed one before.
Figured the car in gear & ebrake on should not hurt it.

davered00ss, Why did you still need it? Clutch slipping?
If it comes to that I will just use an impact to remove it.

Clutch should not be slipping, new Spec Stage 3F. I was in 1st gear, don't think 4th would have made any diference.

It make a ton of difference. In 4th gear, you're at a 1:1 ratio. The whole drivetrain spins together in fourth.

Didn't put much thought into it, just doing the cam and needed to hold it still.
