If I can remember correctly when I replaced my clutch I used a small punch (round chisel). I dont know how you tried locking it but I just put it between 2 teeth and pushed it against one of the raised lines on the block. Or you could remove your inspection cover and put a screw driver or chisel in between the teeth and it would just push against the block. Also if youre not using one try to find a buddy with an impact those bolts are REALLY TORQUED!

Ok there is such a tool to help you out and its pretty cheap. If you dont want to spend any money just put your wrench on the bolt and wack it with a hammer or something.

you're going to have to hold the flywheel. I like to jam something inbetween where the inspection plate bolts on and a flywheel tooth. get some muscle and hold that shit still (you'll have to have someone else do it) and those pesky flywheel bolts will surrender to your manliness.
or thats atleast what happens when i do it :P

or you may also be able to lock it up at the crank pulley...

I would *NOT* do that as i've seen numerous times the crank pulley breaking from sticking something in it, but thats just me.

Not the best thing to do....http://hometown.aol.com/skatemesa1/forums/tranny.jpg
This is what happens when you jam a screwdriver in your flywheel teeth, you knock a huge chunk of the tranny bell housing off.
Do it the smart way and have a friend hold on to the crank pulley with a a good sized rachet while you loosen the flywheel bolts.
