After installing an aftermarket aluminum underdrive pulley, how does everyone re-tighten the crank pulley bolt? There's no need for the Honda crank tool since the aftermarket pulleys don't have a spot for the tool. But the pulley does need to be held still...or something. What have others done?

Pull the inspection cover off the bottom of the trans and have a friend hold a prybar on the teeth of the flexplate

Thanks for the tip...it sort of worked. There were no teeth, but we held a prybar against a bolt head on the flywheel...or whatever it was. It wasn't a perfect setup, but I was able to put enough pressure on the crank pulley bolt to make it safe.
