Im having trouble tightening down my pulley bolt, when I get it about half way in before the crank starts turning, is there a trick to stop it from turning?

Put it in fifth gear with the hand brake on

Put it in fourth and get a friend to stand on the brakes ?

We used an air gun on mine, as it's a pain in the arse with an auto.

As a last resort you could remove the starter and wedge a pry bar in the flywheel teeth

the only way I found to do it with the auto is to remove the blanking plate on the back of the drive plate and put a locking pin in,I believe a drill bit of the correct size will do the trick too,just can't remember what size,I torqued mine up to 300nm as thats as far as the wrench would go. If you get stuck give me a shout and I'll try and explain better.

whip out the starter motor. wedge a large screwdriver or crowbar in the flywheel. but do make sure it's wedged in tight, because if it slips it could damage the ring gear,
