I'm R & R'ing the leaky front crank seal with the motor in the car. I cannot lock down the motor from turning (and I don't like the engine turning backwards) trying to get the hub nut free. Is there a homegrown method to achieve this w/o the 'special tool #^%*$&#????

Put it in gear (high) and have someone hold the brakes and set the handbrake???

Tried that. Didn't work as the clutch couldn't hold it and the clutch is fairly new.

Couldn't get it with the impact nor with the starter. Tried locking the front hub nuts and one broke off!!! Also I think the timing jumped... Fme!!! Hope nothings messed up.

Finally got the hub off. I jambed a medium sized screwdriver up through the front donut through the rear engine cover, It didn't make it and you can guess what happened to me when that on went.... Big one held.
