Clutch/flywheel advice during engine swap

[wehey]

I will be performing surgery on the Micra soon and have been reading thro the Haynes so I know what to expect.
I have managed to get hold of a. 1.3 auto engine and have the following questions

1. I will have to swap the flywheel over from the 1.0L on to the 1.3. The Haynes says to mark the position of the flywheel in relation to the crankshaft.
How will I know I am installing it in the correct position on the new engine?

2. Will I need a flywheel holding tool or is there a way round this?

Thanks in advance

Yes.
iirc Chris and I just bolted it on. 6 bolts?

Aye, if you're changing the flywheel you won't know which orientation is best unless you take the crank out and balance the whole lot, so just bolt it on.

If I were to set both engines to TDC then mark the flywheel at say 6:00 o'clock on the 1.0L. Then remove and refit to the 1.3 in the same position ?? Would that work ??

It'll be ok. Just bolt it on.

Thanks fellas!

Any advice on the flywheel holding tool thingy?

I vaguely remember the chap in the Haynes manual making a flywheel holding tool from a bit of scrap metal (essentially just a ratchet bolted to the block). But this early in teh morning I can't think why you would need one. Enlighten me?

I'm no expert lol but I would think that as you try to loosen the flywheel bolts the engine would turn so you need to lock it in position some how?

That'll be it. It was something like this....
