You can try to wedge a large flat head screwdirver through the engine
compartment into the teeth of the flywheel ring gear against one of the engine
studs. This worked for me. However it required the help of a second person who
held the screwdriver while I worked on the flywheel bolts underneath the car.
Good luck.

Subject: Fly wheel removal???
Ok tranny is on the floor, Guess what, the ring gear looks like it has full
life left to it, but it had slide further away from the starter gear.
While I pounded it back on and could most likely reinstall every thing I was
woundering if any body could tell me how to get the flywheel off ,so that I
could turn the ring gear around the way it was meant to be not the way the
factory left it.
If I try turning the bolts holding the flywheel on the motor turns and all I
do is go round and round , short of sticking a screw driver down a plug hole
and wedging the piston I can't come up with a way, just kidding on the
screwdriver?
