I have a 5J, D2 with a loose pony motor flywheel nut. Any suggestions on how to hold the crankshaft so I can tighten the 2 1/4" flywheel nut?

Thanks!

I used a chain wrench. Chain fit in the belt groove & it didn't even make a mark torquing the nut.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
