Hey i finally started my turbo build. I've the block on a stand and I am trying to remove the bolt connected to the crank. Is there a way to keep the crank from rotating so i can get that bolt off?

put a crowbar/bigass flathead in the teeth on the flywheel and hold it in place

Impact gun or honda actually sells a tool to hold the crank pulley in place to remove the bolt.

Sealy make a crank pulley dampner tool which you put into the crank pulley to hold the crank in place then you slot a breaker bar through the centre and it'll come off.

You need to make sure you get the 50mm tool not the 45mm.

I used a piece of electrical strut and a few bolts through it. took a bit to get everything lined up so I would get a good bite on it then used a breaker bar to pop it loose. Mine was still in the car so I didnt have to worry about stuff twisting. You might need a second hand to help support the motor or a good rattle gun

If you have the car in gear and someone keeps their foot on the brake, that should hold it I think.

moroso makes one too http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MOR-61805/

Thanks for all the suggestions i rented that tool you guys mentions but the bolt still wouldn't budge, ended up taking it to a local shop and they got it off in 3 sec with an impact gun. Block is at the machime shop now
