In need of a tool to hold the Crankshaft on a 2013 N20 from the front... Engine is out of car and on a stand and for the life of me, I can't find anywhere on the internet, a counter holder to hold the crank from the front. I tried ebay and found what looked like the correct tool but they sent me the flywheel lock. I know about the flywheel holder that you would use if the engine is in the car. I have one but it won't work with engine removed from transmission. Any ideas? Thanks.

Use an impact gun and not bother holding anything.
If you must hold, use a chain wrench on an old crank pulley.
