Search the archives for the "tranny bolt" method.  (Or, you can 
just pull one of the tranny bolts out, and stick it in the hole 
on the left side of the bellhousing, turn the engine a little past 
TDC, and the bolt will go in a hole in the flywheel and lock the 
crank so you can undo the bolt.  Don't need the tool at all.)

HTH!
