How do I keep motor from turning while trying to torque crank bolt?

I've installed the ATI balancer on my motor and it says to torque the stock crank bolt to 240 ft/lbs. How do I keep the motor from turning over to get it torqued that tight? The motor/trans are the car and I'm using a Lakewood scatter shield so not much access to the back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
