Other that removing the head and piston, what is the best way to lock the engine so that I can remove the rotor nut?

Hi
I use an air impact gun , the type used in tire dealers , comes strait off .
failing that just use a socket & tommy bar & give it a sharp clout anti clockwise with a mallet , the nut isn't usually that tight , it'll help if you put the bike in gear & get a mate to hold the rear brake on .
Hope that helps

Or you could get a length of flat steel, say 50mm wide 4mm thick and 600mm long. At one end you drill three holes in a line running lengthways. The middle of the three holes is big enough for your socket to pass through. The other two are about 10mm and are spaced so they line up with the slots in the flywheel, so you can put in two short 10mm bolts.
Then you have a "spanner" for holding the flywheel while you undo the nut. You engage the two slots with the two bolts, pass your socket through the centre hole and undo the nut.
I made one because it allows me to get a decent grip and do the nut up to the specified torque. I expect to never have a flywheel spin off.
