take a set of channel lock pliers and hold the flywheel with them. then take a deep socket and a ratchet to the clutch nut

i have no idea what size the socket is, so your on your own there


dont bother with a flywheel locking tool. its a waste. it you absolutely have to buy an rc brand tool for locking the engine, get dynamites locker that locks the piston in place. thats much more valuable
Never had a problem with a flywheel pin holder in years of using it. What happened with yours?


Piston locks aren't suited well for putting on flywheels as the stress it puts on the conrod bushing gives me the heebie-jeebies. But you can never go wrong with channel lock pliers.
