I always use an impact. Just put some gloves on and hold the flywheel tight onto the shaft. Also put some rotational force toward the timing key, if it's an offset one, to keep it tight in the correct position. Then, just use the impact to tighten. Make sure the threads and nut are super clean. I've never had any issues doing it this way. My impact maxes out just north of most torque specs for the flywheel. If you have an aluminum flywheel....disregard this, the procedure is likely different.
