I'm in the middle of swapping my motor and realized that I need to install my flexplate on the new motor. This isn't normally a issue but I have no idea how to torque it down without it spinning the crank.

Flywheel/flexplate turner is what I use.

You can stick a big screwdriver through one of the big holes and catch the back of the block.

A couple of folded up shop rags and just hold it. Plus the flange bolts are in the center so they don't have much leverage.
