Yeah go with what they said. What I did which is very funny was. I didn't have a impact ratchet so I took my tools and a rubber hose. I stuck the rubber hose threw the exhaust port and it held the rotor in place that it would move. Did not damage the inside and also I got that front bolt off. Now that flywheel nut yea you will need a impact ratchet.

Air tools FTW. It's worth lugging the engine to a shop if need be.

You can hold the engine in place by using chain and bolts that go where the bellhousing goes on the engine. The chain goes snug where the flywheel ring gear goes.
