screw other in tranny hole on engine.

wait.. I just remembered, I JUST had the tool that you need. I gave it back to Steve last night. Just call him and I'm sure he'll let you borrow it.

It's like a little metal bracket deal with teeth on it that lock into the flywheel so it can't rotate.

Get a long piece of angle-iron, drill two holes in it to match the flywheel, thread two bolts through the angle-iron into the flywheel, turn the flywheel so that the angle-iron contacts the frame.

i rented an impact gun for 15 bucks and my neighbor had a air compressor so it worked out awsome took about literally 2 seconds but carrying the motor by hand across the street with snow and ice on the ground took the longest time haha
