Default clutch help

okay i have a engine with a blown trans and i have the engine out of the car since im swappin it into another but the thing is i cant get the clutch off, there is the pressure plate soon as you take off the trans then theres is the fly wheel and clutch plates. now the bolts that i need to take off are 10mm and i cannot take them off because the whole assembly (flywheel/ clutch) just spins freely and i cannot seem to get it to hold im using a breaker bar to take off the bolts. do you think if i use an impact wrench it will come off easily.

I had to lodge a screwdriver against the flywheel teeth and trans housing. It helped that somebody was there to hold it from above while I worked on the bolts. It's not the best way im sure, but It worked for me.

Get someone to hold onto the crank pulley with a breaker bar or wrench as you turn the bolts on the pressure plate.

FYI - for future reference, make sure you're turning the wrench handle across the centerline of the flywheel. Thi sway you're not putting nearly as much rotational torque on the crank and it'll be a lot easier to hold in place. This is especially useful when torquing the flywheel bolts back on. Use an impact gun to remove them.
