i find the easiest way to do this is to hold a breaker bar on the bolt, and have a friend crank the engine for the shortest period of time possible, if not put a screwdriver, crowbar, or any thing else that would do the same thing in the access panel on the top of the transmission, the same hole where you would take the torque converter bolts off from and use the flexplate to hold the motor.

Put an 18mm socket on an 18" to 24" breaker bar, wedge the end of the breaker bar under something solid (I used the emissions canister bracket on the passenger side) and "bump" the starter briefly to turn the engine. Works like a charm! (works for Acura Legends, too)

The Right Way....
Torqueing the crankshaft bolt is the bigger issue. You will have to keep the engine from turning from under the car at the flexplate. I would not use the chain or strap wrench as it will tend to separate the inertia ring from the hub. This will cause the premature failure of the dampener. Have a friend help and use a torque wrench and tighten to spec.
PS. I think that the reason so many of us do experience dampener failure is the overtightening of the drive belts. When you reinstall them tighten them enough to work without slipping, and stop.
