Put the bike into top gear and hold the back brake on.

Plus I use a rattle gun and red loctite.
Saw a bloke put a broom handle through the spokes to stop the wheel turning
, f'ed two and bent two spokes.
Cheers
ps after 30 odd years of A ownership I still haven't made a clutch holding tool.

Me too Musky, until the last (Hernia repair tearing episode) - now I have a good clutch locking tool.
Rattle guns ( we call them air guns) are good, they have been known to be less than kind to fine threads tho

A good air gun (= air riffle down here) has a few settings. Go up the settings till it strips then back off one
.

was thinking more of the speed Musky.
Stainless threads even lubed will gaul if turned really fast
Be a good lad and don't ask me how I know
