I have a flywheel turner now, but for years just used a big screw driver

there are cheaper ones out there, try Harbor Freight

The proper tool is the best way, but it can be done with-out one. In either case, taking the spark plugs out makes it a lot easier.

I'm about to do the same thing and its my first time. I was told a good way is to put some longer bolts in the three holes in the harmonic balancer and put a big closed end wrench around one and push or pull up against another bolt. Also agree with longhair take the plugs out.

Then all you need is a 1/2" ratchet to turn it.

flywheel wrench and the convertor bolts go with the nuts to the convertor
