Big Important Timing Belt Question

My friend and I are going to attempt changing the timing belt and water pump on his 1992 Accord EXR tomorrow. We tried doing this before, but didn't get very far because we couldn't figure out a way to lock the crankshaft to remove the big bolt on the end of the crank.

If it was a 5spd we could just put it in 1st gear and step on the brakes, but its an auto so that isn't possible. We don't have access to air tools either.

How did you guys do this?

Also, is the crank bolt reverse threaded?

Thanks a lot.

I use a crank pulley holder and a breaker bar.
