Simon says, best bet is an equivalent to the factory
‘slugging wrench’ tool. No need to access the crankshaft or
flywheel. I bought a cheap combo wrench years ago to do this
– can’t remember the measurements, and it’s at Mike Owens
shop. I can check the specs for you, or you are welcome to
use it if you are not in a big hurry. Feel like a ferry
ride?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If(!) my memory t serves me right, you can
take the sump off and jam it with a piece of wood.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Otherwise, maybe get something to lock the
flywheel. Per attached. I used this for work on the clutch but
should do the job?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Years ago, I put a massive spanner on the
nut and clouted it with a big hammer. Yes, the crank moved but
the nut surely tightened up. It is an absolute beast of a
spanner…open-ended, just one end. Heavy as anything, looks
like something out of a Challenger tank’s toolkit.<o:p></o:p></p>
