How about an old bendix gear welded to a bracket that could bolt up to the
starter mount holes? It would mesh with the ring gear and stop the engine
from turning. I know it means pulling the starter at least part way, but the
'flying wrench' technique kinda scares me.

If somebody does come up with the ICBM idea, give me a call. Sounds like it
would be fun to watch from a distance :)

Good call Andy! Either I got lucky or you were unlucky, It's not worth the
risk. Ever since this thread started, I've been waiting for your dad to
chime in with his new design for the "Universal Dampener Puller". Something
involving a surplus ICBM booster rocket and several rolls of duct tape
perhaps?

I broke the front cover that way.  I was using a steel cushion like you
described.  It was just too much stress for the aluminum.  I suggest a gear
puller.
