Default removing pressure plate/clutch/flywheel

Well we are having a little trouble getting the pressure plate off in the first place - as the crank keeps on spinning and while we try to break the bolts. So I have put in a clutch alignment tool at first, then tried jamming a screwdriver in between the flywheel teeth, but that didnt work too well as I was not strong enough to keep it from turning...

any reccomendations??

I made a bracket that locked into the flywheel teeth and bolted into one of the threaded holes that bolts the trans to the block. It is kinda hard to explain..but it worked.

ah the pulley bolt worked beautifully - but now I think we stripped some of the flywheel bolts..!

We got about 3-4 out and then rest the socket just wont stay on the bolts anymore - any tips/suggestsions on how to get them out. and they are torqued down hard too..
