flywheel tightening without a holding tool

[sleepinghorse]

T5 flywheel. Is there a good way to tighten one without a holder without breaking the fins?

In an Emergency only:

1) Ratchet strap round the flywheel secured on the kickstart boss.

2) Clothesline rope down the spark plug hole to block the piston travel

3) stick it in gear and put the front wheel against the wall, get your fattest friend/girlfriend to sit on the scooter and apply both brakes then go for it

WTF

plastic handled screwdriver between the selector box and flywheel, the handle chews up before the fins snap.

Better still, two plastic handled screwdrivers - one against the selector and one against the kickstart, spread the
load

As above but with swift blows from a hammer (on ratchet/spanner) to tighten the nut.....most tools recommend this method

Thanks for the replies.

The screwdriver trick did the business, no broken fins!!
