I rented an electric impact wrench for $18. I liked it so much I bought one
from harbor freight for $79.

Oh wise ones,

I need to get the flywheel off to replace the rear main seal.

How do I stop it from turning while I apply the 100+ ft*lbs needed to turn
the bolts?

Any tricks known to work without bending anything?
