I am asuming that you are undoing flywheel to crank bolts...

 

I simply use a length of chain (like the one I used to lift engine), run a bolt through a link and into a bolthole in block used for engine to trans bolt-up, and another bolt (from pressure-plate-to-flywheel) through appropriate link and into its bolt-hole in flywheel. (So you now have a short length or chain bolted at one end to block and the other end to flywheel.) A little trial and error (or just thinking about it... I will try that someday!) will get you what length to use and which bolt holes.

 

Tightening the bolts is done the same way, except chain goes clockwise from Block-bolt to PPlate-bolt.

 

Hope that helps.

have a friend jam a pry bar thru it and against the block or use air tools. assuming you are removing the fly wheel from the crank.

 

another way is with a breaker bar on the bolt hold it and smack it with a BFH. A little dangerous but it works like a impact gun.. sort of.

thanks, i was having a dumb moment...i actually found an alternator pulley bracket from a volvo laying around ,a few washers on the bottom right bolt and it was done....i appreciate the tip though ... i was starting to panic from bleeding..hahaha
