1999 TL Pulley bolt removal

Help. I am doing my timing belt and can't figure out how to keep the engine from turning over when loosening the front pulley bolt. Do I need a special tool?

Put it on the crank bolt, brace it against the floor or the subframe and just quickly tap the key to get the motor to crank but not start. It will break the bolt free.

Either that or buy the correct tool to do it.
