it seems simple enough. just use some rebar welded in a 90 degree to hold on the transmission with another piece welded perpindicular to it to stick in the whole in the flywheel. I have welding skills to do it, just dont have a MIG welder to use

The belt method works great and is free. Spend money on something else

not going to bad mouth, but after personally seeing a bolt break off in the crank, i will spend the extra $3.00 for a new bolt to be on the safe side.
