Oh, there is a sweetass tool for holding the flywheel IIRC, it engages the
teeth to keep it from spinning, I borrowed it from a good friend when I did
my clutch...And the alignment tool is a platic disc thing, it comes with a
new clutch, but since he's reusung the clutch, he may not have one. Which
reminds me, I should see if I got mine back from the nephew.
