Trying to tighten Exedy Twin flywheel to crank, no mitsu tool

When I did my previous clutch replacement I simply used flat spare metal with two holes much like what the Evo Moto how-to suggests to hold my flywheel in place so I could torque the flywheel bolts.

This time around I am installing a Exedy Twin HD and I definitely cannot use my "flywheel tool". What would you guys suggest I do? I do NOT have the Mitsu special tool but plenty of other tools. Would a breaker bar on the crank pulley wedged against the ground work just as fine or would I risk breaking something...somehow?

Holding the crank with a breaker bar will work fine.

WHOA!!! All you have to do is find a 1/2" drive breaker bar or ratchet and put it in the crank.

yes thats another way.... you can use a prybar and place it between pin that sticks outta the block for trans also.

with that. did it 3 times. just requires 2 people. the crank method only requires 1 person when you place breaker bar off the crank to ground.
