If you don't have a flywheel holding tool, you can use an "impact wrench" to remove/install the flywheel nut.  These tools can be pneumatic or electric. See: http:// https://www.ingersollrandproducts.com/en-la/power-tools/products/impactools.html

You will also need a "flywheel puller" with threads specific to your flywheel.

I always lap the crank/flywheel taper with valve grinding compound to ensure optimal torque transmission.  The Woodruff key is intended for location, not torque transmission.

Er.

I would not recommend doing that. 1.0

There is another way to hold the flywheel, and that's by jamming soft aluminum between the primary gears (in fact there is even a tool made for this purpose): https://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0427

Of course, you would also need to remove the clutch housing.

Er.

I would not recommend that. 2.0

If you are going to do a job, do it properly and with the correct tools.
Flywheel pullers and holding tools are not even expensive.

Ferchrissakes.

Agreed.  The only thing worse than watching a stupid person trash a bike during a repair, because they don't know what they are doing is watching a knowledgable person trash a motorcycle during a repair, because they are too cheap to buy the right tool.  Always strikes me as cosmic justice.

Yeah i just had a look at that MotionPro special jam tool.

It expressly states not for use with an impact gun....
