the manual refers to 'table 2' for flywheel nut specs.

i cannot locate this table 2 in the manual and kindly ask what the torque spec should be for the flywheel nut??

105 foot pounds. The specs are usually near the front of the book(s) listing the torque specifications for all of the bolts etc.

Thanks Joe.

For some reason, the manual I have does not list this torque spec anywhere.

Tips on how to lock in the flywheel so that it will not turn as I torque the nut up?

Tool that auto mechanics use to turn the flywheel when installing a pressure plate on a manual shift auto, usually called a spanner wrench.

Id hate to admit it but Ive used a large flat head in the past wedged between the starter teeth and the flywheel teeth. Made sure it was making complete contacts on a wide area of both teeth to ensure I didn't bend , break or damage any teeth.

Yes I know very red neck / shade tree. But got it done with no marks or damage.

A strap wrench can also be used with a firm grip and provided it's big enough to fit, chances are you won't find one, however your local auto parts store probably rents the flywheel wrench/spanner wrench Joe referred to for about $5
