You are correct, especially whe it comes to loosening the nuts (and I do use an impact wrench)! But for tightening the screws/nuts on re-assembly I prefer to do this by hand and in some cases with a torque wrench, as the impact wrench can be a little brutal at times. And for these occasions giving the correct support to react the forces applied is the safest way to proceed. And as I mentioned earlier, there is nothing like having the correct tool for the job. But I do make my own, and the photo shows my flywheel locking tool. The steel band is clamped securely around the flywheel rim and the small steel plates allow the device to be attached to a convenient bolt on the frame - such as the footrest bolt. Works like a charm!
