Default How to jam the flywheel still?

Once again, i'm attempting to change the timing belt on my 93 honda civic (Auto trans). Does anyone have a picture of how to jam the screwdriver/crow bar in the flywheel to keep it from spinning? I'm worried that if I jam it between the teeth and the trans housing that when I crank down on the bolt that it might bend or break the housing. Thanks in advance.

Why not order this?

I've heard that you can use a screwdriver to block the flywheel, but have not seen how this is done. Seems risky.

I wish I could use that tool. I have the pulley with the holes in it. The guy at a shop told me in all the years he's worked he has never had a problem with the flywheel when using the screwdriver method.

Ask him where he jams the screwdriver to block the flywheel without damaging it. If it works for you, please post a picture of how you did it for the benefit of others.
