I bought the kent moore tool. It was brand new off eBay for like 35 bucks. Same tool used by the dealership to lock the flywheel in place.

Best way is to lock the flywheel in place.

Are you sure your e brake works very well? I just did this about 2 weeks ago, and my car stayed still, even when pulling on the bolt with a breaker bar+pipe extension
