What do you use to hold the flywheel when installing?
Well my clutch goes in next week. What do you guys use to hold the flywheel when torquing that center nut to the insane amount of torque it needs? Is the mazda tool the only option?

I wouldnt do that it could mess up the teeth on the flywheel. what i did before buying the actual flywheel stop was putting a piece of chain and using one of the bolts on the flywheel to secure it an then use another bolt on the actual block (preferately spot is the original A/C compresor bolts) to secure the other end of the chain and that would hold them down. PM me if you don understand what im saying!!!!

The chain method is the one I normally use.
Or you can get a bit of angle iron and drill two holes so it can be bolted using the clutch bolts.
Jamming a socket or bolt against one tooth is not a good idea. Notice the Mazda holder grips several.
