Boy, you guys sure go to a lot of work. A flywheel lock tool only costs about
$10-$12 bucks. And if you are going to work on VWs you need some air tools.
Impact wrench usually takes them right off with no lock. And I say that: I
have had them to be stubborn and wouldn't come off with anything unless they
were heated with a torch.

Ditto.
It has to be a pretty stout piece otherwise it will just bend, I have a 5’
piece of 1” angle that I welded some structural supports to that I use.

That and a 4’ cheater pipe on a ½ breaker bar works well.

A long piece of angle iron. Drill a hole in the end and use a clutch bolt to
hold it across the face of the flywheel. The gland nut socket is used against
the edge of the angle iron to keep it from rotating while you remove the nut.
Also make sure you fully seat the nut and replace the oring
