    I do not have a Rotor holding tool... Saw a guy use a penny between the gears to stop them from rotating, can I use a penny on the final gear to stop the rotation and safely Torque my Rotor ?

    other suggestions are welcome.

    If the engine is still in the frame you could put it in gear and have some one hold on the rear brake.

    if it's in the bike, put a stick through the wheel, if it's on the bench a penny is better than your finger
