    The easiest way is by using a flywheel locking tool. A flywheel locking tool can be installed after the starter motor has been removed. It is simply bolted onto the starter motor bolts and has a single tooth which locks the flywheel into position.

    Another possibility is to use a decent (good quality) universal pulley holder. However a lot of force is needed to tighten the pulley bolt to the specified torque/angle so the pulley holder must be very strong. I used to have one which simply broke during tightening so I made one myself using solid steel bars.
