You need the bolt on type.

a 1-7/16" socket works fine on the gland nut. I use one with a 3/4" drive so I 
don't have to worry about breaking the drive. The same socket fits the rear 
axle nuts.

Watch ebay for a flywheel lock, or use a long steel bar with holes drilled in 
it to match up with the pressure plate holes.
