Of course the easiest technique is to use an electric or air impact wrench.
....if you got one.

I don't know if I would go with this method. Lots of companies make a
tool that grabs a hold of the flywheel. It's a universal tool that works
on any car. I bought mine at Summit. You also might find one at
AutoZone that they will loan you. At AutoZone they have all kinds of
tools that are free to use. Just leave a deposit and if you bring the
tool back in the same condition it left, you get a full return on your
deposit.
