Any advice on a flywheel holding tool?
If you have a torch and vice, an easy way is go buy a cheap open end spanner, heat the handle part near the open end cherry red and bend a Z shape in it.

Like that only for the VTR you would use the open end
Or
If you have a welder and such, its pretty easy to weld a tool up from some flat stock or plate and some tube or bar.
If it is a non Hex shape like the VTR is, I cut um out with a plasma torch these days if I don't already have one that fits . If its a hex shaped part of the flywheel, I still go get a cheap spanner and bend it up to fit...quick and easy.
I would not recommend using a strap wrench, chain wrench or even a strap type holding tool made for flywheels on the OD of the flywheel if the flywheel has been lightened.
The steel around the magnets on a lightened flywheel is very thin after the work and easily deformed
