Read this in some thread and I'm trying it out. Seems like it works fine.

Put a crescent wrench on each cam square, cross the handles and clamp with some vise grips. I put some blue threadlocker on the wrenches for good measure.

thanks for the tip! will save a $hitload of ca$h! I know that it is possible to replace the flywheel pin with a bolt... but not sure which one?
thanks

Flywheel pin is 8mm diameter and something like a few inches long. Any sufficiently strong metal rod that is the right diameter and length will work. I'm using a rod out of the trunk tool kit, but people have used a drill bit or a punch. Good luck, just make sure whatever you're using is doing its job properly.
