I got a new alternator and, of course the instructions say "Do not use heavy tools to pry on alternator case; hand pressure is adequate."

And, so I began to laugh at the joke for a minute or two. I know that is probably true for 300lb Bubba, but it has never been true for scrawny me. I might be able to hold it tight enough while someone else tightens the bolt. But it won't happen by myself. So I'm curious, any of you other scrawny guys know how to get it tight enough without prying?
