cheater crank locking tool

Hi,

I got a pic of the cheapskate but crank-preserving method of crank bolt removal, using a pry bar.

I don't think I want to use this method for bolt tightening, but I may try it.  Maybe if I find a helmet to wear or something, or lay a towel over the pry bar.  It wasn't too bad taking it out, altho' I did need some leverage.

I may try to fab up one of those Patco tools:
