I just removed my crank sprocket to replace it as it seemed like it moving. Sure enough it had moved a little, but fortunately my crank was not damaged.

My next trick is to put on the final 90lb torque on the sprocket without moving the crank!

How can I hold the crank still without mangling the sprocket??
