Torquing flywheel & clutch

[Hollowdweller]

Installing the flywheel & clutch tonight, hoping for tranny tom!! Trying to torque down flywheel bolts but she’s spinning..kinda expected but best way to stop? Tried wedging wrench in teeth with slight Jack pressure but motor just lifts. Figure this breaker bar on crank bolt will do the job but will that back the crank bolt off or anything?

thread lock red on crank & clutch bolts…correct?

I have used a large flat head screw drive wedged between the flywheel teeth and a structural support.

You might be able to rent the flywheel holder tool at a local auto parts?

you can't put something through one of those holes and into the block? seems that's what i did, but i had a different flywheel.

The Mr Gasket wrench worked great for me. Much easier than screwing around w/ harmonic balancer.
